Join in at West Tech to learn more about Nevada’s provisions for Supported Decision Making.
Nevada’s Supported Decision Making program is an initiative that seeks to empower individuals with disabilities to make their own decisions, with the help of family, friends, and other supports. This type of decision-making allows the individual to remain in control of their decisions and maintain autonomy, while still having access to assistance from those who care about them. This assistance can include guidance, advice, and assistance in understanding the options and consequences of various decisions. This type of decision-making can provide a more personalized approach to decision-making, and can help ensure that the individual’s rights and autonomy are respected and their wishes are carried out. Nevada’s Supported Decision Making approach is rooted in the idea of self-determination, which is the concept that all individuals should have the right to make their own decisions and that those decisions should be respected and supported.
