SUMMARY:ADAPT Community Network: Supported Decision-Making - Independence\, Rights & Housing
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides an overview of Supported Decision-Making (SDM) as an alternative to guardianship for individuals with I/DD and Autism. Participants will learn how the SDMNY project has advanced self determination\, independence\, inclusion\, and dignity—while preserving individuals’ legal rights and decision making power in all areas of life\, including housing. Attendees will come away with an understanding of the key differences between guardianship and SDM\, how the SDMNY facilitation process works\, and how Supported Decision-Making Agreements (SDMAs) are being implemented. The presentation will also cover the impact of New York’s new SDM Law (Mental Hygiene Law Article 82). \n\nRegister Here\n  \nPRESENTED BY:  \nMELISSA WILCOX \nMelissa is a trained Supported Decision-Making Facilitator and Certified Personal Outcome Measures Interviewer.
