This episode considers the significance of decision making to the lives of people with disabilities and changing expectations about their right to participate in decision making since the 2006 United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Most people do not notice the decisions they make throughout the day, which determine what their day may be like. People with disabilities, however, often have these decisions made for them.
This chapter explains the processes and describes the skills required for the practice of good- decision support with people with disabilities, through making decision making visible and the need for support explicit.
