Step 1

Talk About It

It is important that you have a conversation with the adult with developmental disabilities and come up with a plan together for how they would like to be supported. We recommend you download and fill out this Self-Assessment to assist you with this process.

For more suggestions of types of assistance you can provide as a supporter, read “100 Ways to use SDM.” You can also watch videos on how decision-makers Skye, Conner, Ben, John, Mike, Gabby, and Carl use SDM.

The Supported Decision-Making Agreement should be filled out by the adult with developmental disabilities themselves, either on their own or with your assistance.

If you are ready let’s continue.
