What is Supported Decision-Making (SDM)? How does SDM empower and support people with disabilities?
As the awardee of the state contract to facilitate New York’s Supported Decision-Making model for people with developmental disabilities, AIM Services will establish a structured and replicable model for use across New York State, work with people to develop Supported Decision-Making agreements, and help ensure that every person is afforded the respect, independence, and full legal recognition when making decisions about their lives.
Key takeaways:
- Learn about SDM, an alternative to guardianship, as a tool to support thoughtful, informed decision-making for the future.
- Attendees will learn how Decision Makers will be empowered to carry out decisions and navigate decision-making spaces.
Presenters:
Alexis Harrington: Chief of Program Implementation, AIM Services
Lace Miller-Kitchin: Director of Supported Decision-Making, AIM Services
