An Introduction to Illinois’ New Supported Decision-Making Act

People with intellectual or developmental disabilities (ID/DD) are oftentimes capable of making many decisions on their own, but have been subjected to restrictive court-appointed guardianships simply because they have a disability. The Illinois Supported Decision-Making Act is a less-restrictive alternative to full guardianship for adults who need assistance with decisions regarding daily life. Don’t miss this in-depth look at Illinois’ new Supported Decision-Making Act, including the legislative history behind the Act, its purpose, and how to implement it in your practice.

Frequently asked questions are also addressed, as well as how this option differs from guardianships and powers of attorney.
