A practitioner‑focused hub maintained by the UC Davis MIND Institute Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (CEDD) that explains Supported Decision‑Making (SDM) in plain language, situates SDM as a least‑restrictive alternative to conservatorship, and gathers practical tools (step‑by‑step guides, workshop recordings, companion booklets) for getting started. The page summarizes why conservatorship can be overly restrictive, offers accessible introductions to SDM, and links to implementation resources (ACLU materials, ABA steps, health‑care decision‑making tools for AAC users) and state policy context (AB 1663). The hub is designed for easy sharing with families and professionals and emphasizes accessible formats and inclusion of lived‑experience perspectives.
