Center for Decision-Making Support
It can be hard making decisions alone, whether or not you have a disability. Decision-making support resources can help you learn how much support or what kind of support you may need about choices in your own life.
These choices could be about where to live, where to work, how to spend your time during the day, how to spend your money, medicine, doctor’s visits or other things. Everyone is different. The way you get support might be right for you but wrong for someone else.
Family members, caregivers, direct support professionals and case workers will also find these resources helpful.
These resources can help anyone find the support they need.
