Supported Decision Making is when one person gives another person the support they need to participate in a decision.
Everyone has the right to make decisions about the things that affect their lives. Having choice and control over decisions that affect you is vital to ensuring your equal participation in life, just like having Braille on an ATM gives a person who is sight impaired the ability to access their money when they want to, or a wheel chair ramp gives equal access to everyone wanting to enter a building.
The amount and type of support you give to help a person make a decision is different for every person and each decision made. Supporting someone to make a decision is a valuable skill. Like any skill, Supported Decision Making can be learnt, practised and improved.
