Supported decision making: A new approach to promoting decision-making capabilities in health care of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities or progressive neuro-cognitive impairments

In: Ishita Khemka and Linda Hickson, eds., Decision Making in Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Research and Practice. New York: Springer, chapter 17 (in press).

Abstract

Supported decision making approaches in health care recognize the authority of patients to decide on treatment options with the help of close and trusted persons as needed. This paper (a) elaborates on supported decision making in health care, (b) discusses some possible philosophical and ethical underpinnings of this approach, and (c) concludes that a supported decision-making approach affirms the inherent dignity of patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities or progressive neuro-cognitive impairments, will enhance their participating in making healthcare decisions with supports as needed, and can enable their authority to make those decisions to be ethically and legally recognized.

Clinical Tools

These tools were developed for healthcare professionals by the Developmental Disabilities Primary Care Program at Surrey Place, Toronto, Canada. They promote decisional capabilities of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through supported decision making. They might be helpful for other patients with similar challenges of impaired decision making.
