What Are Ohioans Saying About Decision-Making?
The Supported Decision-Making Network of Ohio recently partnered with Jeanne Novak, Ph.D., of Bowling Green State University to learn more about how Ohioans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) make decisions and receive support. The statewide project gathered perspectives from both self-advocates and family members, providing valuable insight into real-life experiences with choice, independence, and decision-making support. The findings can help families, professionals, and policymakers better understand how people with IDD can be supported while maintaining as much control over their own lives as possible.
