Supported Decision-Making (SDM) – provides an alternative to guardianship for people with disabilities. SDM, recognized in many states and nations, allows the individual to form a team of supporters who will assist the individual with the processes of making decisions from different areas of their lives, from healthcare, financial, and educational. People with disabilities should be given all available opportunities to maximize their autonomy and supported decision-making helps with that process.
