Regional Centers for Workforce Transformation Presents: Supported Decision-Making as an Alternative to Guardianship
October 29, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Join SDMNY Associate Director Joan Cornachio in a conversation to learn how supported decision-making has been an effective process for many individuals on the spectrum and with other developmental disabilities in New York, as they strive for more inclusive and self-determined lives.
The presentation will explain how the SDMNY facilitation process works with people with I/DD, their families and friends to develop supported decision-making agreements (SDMAs) that may be used as a more empowering alternative to guardianship. They will also discuss the impact of the new SDM law.
A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
