"I DECIDE FLORIDA" - Supporting Supported Decision-Making Bills in Florida


WE BELIEVE People with disabilities deserve to decide where they live, who they love, who their friends are, and what kind of life they want.

A Supported Decision-Making Law will let people with disabilities choose, and keeps loved ones involved.

People with disabilities deserve more options to get the help they need with making decisions and carrying out tasks.

When people with disabilities need support with decisions like choosing where to live or deciding how to spend their money, there are few options. This leads to overuse of guardianship and guardian advocacy, two laws that allow a person's rights to be taken away and given to someone else to exercise for them.
