Supported Decision Making (SDM) is an alternative to guardianship. Not every individual with an intellectual disability needs guardianship and the subsequent loss of their civil rights. SDM is an approach in which an individual is assisted with their decision making, which will enhance their skills, develop more independence, and allow them to take charge of their life. We welcome in George Zaske – parent using Supported Decision Making, an attorney, a member of statewide group promoting Supporting Decision Making, and a disability advocate.
