Supported Decision-Making

Since 2021, SUN has collaborated with the Georgia Advocacy Office (GAO) to support the the I DECIDE Georgia project when GAO was selected to participate in the Administration on Community Living’s Center on Youth Voice Youth Choice. Through this national project SUN and GAO are connected to a network of state practitioners and other experts while training youth with I/DD to become Youth Ambassadors to promote alternatives to guardianship and work for change in their states.
