Disability Rights Nebraska is hosting a Summit to raise awareness of Supported Decision Making (SDM) as a means to increase self-determination among people with disabilities and the aging population. Self-determination is having the right to make your own choices and set your own goals. Multiple studies show that people with greater self-determination are healthier, more independent, more well‐adjusted and better able to recognize and resist abuse.
