SDM Resources
This space will have resources for decision-makers, their supporters, professionals, and anyone else interested in learning and doing more with Supported Decision-Making! There's some pretty cool stuff here, so take a few moments to look around.
PRACTICAL Tool
for Healthcare Providers
The PRACTICAL Tool was originally created by the American Bar Association for attorneys to help them identify and support implementing decision-making options for persons with disabilities that are less restrictive than guardianship.

This guide is designed to help those in the medical field understand their potential impact on a person's civil rights.

From the Disability Rights Center of New Hampshire:
Think of this toolkit as a workbook. In addition to information and handouts, there are worksheets and forms you can fill out, print, and use.

SDMNO is proud to share the Supported Decision-Making One-Pager. This document, created by members of our network, explains what supported decision-making is and why it's important.
