My Right to Decide

Building decision making confidence

We provide training and resources to help build the decision making confidence of people with intellectual disability and their supporters.

  • What is supported decision making?

    We make many decisions every day. We often ask others for
    support to make decisions.
    For many people with intellectual disability, decisions are made for them when in fact they have the right to make decisions with the right support.

My Right To Decide is for

  • A person with intellectual disability who has support workers at home.
