Do you feel confident in your skills as a decision supporter? Do you know how to build the decision-making ability of the person you support?
As we progress into adulthood we will have been given many opportunities to develop our skills and knowledge to make small and big decisions. It is quite natural to seek advice, ideas or information from others. Yet people with intellectual disability and Autism have often not had the same opportunities to make decisions and develop the skills and knowledge to shape their own lives. Constantly, their lives are directed by others.
