Kristen Crabtree, BSN, RN; DNP Student; WI LEND Fellow,
University of Wisconsin – Madison will present about Supported Decision-Making for youth with special health care needs as a tool to encourage independence in decision-making. A Supported Decision-Making agreement can be used as an alternative to or as a tool under guardianship. Parent and attorney George Zaske will join Kristen as her guest.
If you would like background information on Supported Decision-Making, we encourage you to view last year's Learning Community on Supported Decision-Making presented by the Board for People with Developmental Disabilities at https://youtu.be/q9RNUvKVEbI

3. Discuss appropriate situations in which the health professional can use the different tools in supporting individuals with special healthcare needs.
