SDM-TAP Community Input

Survey and Community Input

While we received many valid recommendations, the overwhelming theme from the survey and our Community Conversations feedback is the need for awareness and education regarding Supported-Decision Making for both families/individuals and professionals. Without that knowledge and understanding, there is no solid foundation on which Supported-Decision Making can grow. Please click here to see the attached summary of the feedback received via the survey as of 11/7/23.

SDM-TAP Community Input Letters

The Supported Decision Making – Technical Assistance Program (SDM-TAP) was created by California law as a statewide resource for people seeking information about Supported Decision Making (SDM). It provides support, education, guidance, assistance and training to educational entities, families, service providers, professionals, people with disabilities, courts, attorneys, mediators, and others in California who wish to use or expand supported decision making in their professional or personal life. The program also includes a grant program designed to promote and implement SDM throughout California as a legal framework that can be an alternative to conservatorship.

The SDM-TAP team has been working to gather stakeholder feedback on the important issue of SDM and obstacles that have prevented it from being implemented widely. We have provided multiple ways for individuals or groups to provide this input and welcome input in the form of letters from individuals or organizations.
