User:ASchedulingError/sandbox/Supported Decision-making

Supported decision-making is an alternative to guardianship designed to preserve the legal capacity and autonomy of adults with cognitive disabilities. The person with a disability selects a group of trusted people ('supporters') to assist them in understanding the information necessary to make informed choices, but remains responsible for the final decision.
