The California Policy Center for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (CPCIDD) is a grantee of the State Council on Developmental Disabilities, Supported Decision-Making Technical Assistance Program.
Our project centers on educating professionals in the legal and financial sectors about the requirements set forth in, and codified, by the passages of AB 1663 in 2022. In addition to providing education about the reforms made to conservatorship law and the establishment of Supported Decision-Making (SDM), we are collaborating with other grantees to increase awareness, utilization, and broad adoption of Supported Decision-Making as an option to reduce reliance on conservatorship and increase autonomy and decision making for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
What to Expect:
– Training modules for legal, judicial, and financial professionals.
– A symposium uniting self-advocates, policymakers, and experts.
– Resources to shift perceptions about decision-making capacity for individuals with IDD.
– Practical tools and research for SDM implementation.
– Strategies to increase SDM awareness and utilization in underserved communities.
