Developmental Disabilities Lecture Series – Living a Good Life with Supported Decision Making

Supported Decision Making is an alternative to guardianship that promotes independence and the ability feel a sense of autonomy and control of one’s own life. Guardianship puts an individual’s rights into the hands of a third party. The issues that often precipitate a guardianship petition will be discussed, along with alternatives to guardianship, and the process of restoration of rights. The roles various people play in promoting self-determination and arranging for Supported Decision Making and alternatives to guardianship will also be touched upon throughout this session of The Boggs Center’s Developmental Disabilities Lecture Series, presented by Jan Lampman, owner and consultant at Community Drive.

The lecture series will be held on the Zoom Webinar platform. To access the webinars, you must register in advance on the Boggs Center Online Registration System. 

The webinars are free of charge. Space is limited for each of the sessions. Open to people who live or work in New Jersey. Read our FAQs document (PDF) to learn more.
