Making My Own Decisions Is Important to Me

Tuesday, March 23, 2021

I have a disability in which I have low vision and I only can see centrally from my left eye. My disability not only has to do with my vision, but also in my way of perceiving and making decisions. I use a system called Supported Decision-Making (SDM). How I define Supported Decision-Making is when you have family or friends who help you decide. They can give you perspective on the pros and cons, but the idea is still to ultimately make the decision on your own.
