Effective Decision Making Support for People with Cognitive Disability

该项目旨在制作和测试循证教育资源，以提高认知残疾人支持者按照条约义务和最佳做法的要求，将受援者自身的愿望和价值观置于决策中心的能力。该项目旨在开发创新的教育资源，然后调查这些资源对决策支持者和在三个司法管辖区的随机对照试验中得到支持的人的做法的影响。预期成果是一个明显有效的能力建设工具，能够照顾到所有类型的认知残疾和从监护到非正式支助的各种支助情况。

This project aims to produce and test evidence-based education resources that boost the ability of supporters of people with cognitive disability to put the supported person’s own desires and values at the centre of decisions, as required by treaty obligations and best practice. The project aims to develop innovative education resources, and to then investigate the impact of the resources on the practices of decision-making supporters and the person being supported in a randomised control trial in three jurisdictions. The anticipated outcome is a demonstrably effective capacity-building tool, able to cater for all types of cognitive disabilities and the full spectrum of support contexts from guardianship to informal support.
