The aim of this research was to build knowledge about how people with cognitive impairment can be supported to make life decisions, such as post-school options and accommodation.
The research, conducted by researchers at La Trobe University, explored the processes and dilemmas associated with supporting people with cognitive disability in decision making.
The outcomes of the research were used to develop a range of resources to improve knowledge and build capacity in the area of decision-making support. The multimedia and print resources are for families and carers, service providers, and legal professionals.
The resources were developed by Scope in partnership with Carers Victoria and funded by The Victorian Legal Services Board through their Major Grants Program.
