Supported decision-making helps people with disabilities stay in control of their lives while getting help from people they trust.

Instead of someone else making decisions for them, a person chooses supporters. Those supporters can help the person learn about their options and talk through their choices with them.

The choice still belongs to the person, and their supporters respect the final decision.

Everyone asks for help making decisions sometimes. Supported decision-making is about dignity, trust, and honoring each person’s voice and choice. Learn more about supported decision-making here: https://thearcoregon.org/sdm/

The Oregon Special Needs Trust helps people with disabilities save money for long-term needs while protecting important public benefits like SSI and Medicaid.

That means support for things like personal care, education, travel, and technology, without putting benefits at risk.

Planning for your financial future is one way to care for yourself and the people you love. Learn more at: https://oregonsnt.org/about-osnt/

How we support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is shaped by culture, lived experience, and real-world context.

Our training on March 3 will be a space to learn, reflect, and grow together.

We will talk about practical ways to show up with respect and understanding in everyday settings. At work. At home. In the community.

This training is for anyone who wants to strengthen how they support people with I/DD.

We hope you will join us and learn alongside others who care.
