Supported Decision-Making in Finland

Authors: Inclusion Finland

Inclusion Finland has developed some clear and positive resources to help people with learning disabilities get help with decisions. This help is often called Supported Decision-Making. 

The right to Supported Decision-Making is a human right, set out in Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. 

FINNISH: Periaatteet päätöksenteon tukemiseen ja tuetun päätöksenteon toteuttamiseen ovat osa tukijan työkalupakkia. Tämän materiaalin ovat tehneet Kehitysvammaisten Tukiliitto ja Kehitysvammaliiton Tikoteekki. Esitteessä olevat esimerkit ja neuvot ovat Omillaan osuuskunnan kokoaman työryhmän tekemiä.

ENGLISH: The principles for supporting decision-making and implementing supported decision-making are part of the supporter's toolkit. This material has been prepared by Inclusion Finland KVTL and FAIDD’s Communication and Technology Centre Tikoteekki. The examples and advice in the brochure have been created by a group of people from Omillaan cooperative.
