The aim of this research was to develop and evaluate an online training course about decision-making support for disability support workers. Specifically, the research explored whether training had an impact on support workers’ knowledge and attitudes about decision-making support, and the opportunities that they provided to people with cognitive disability to make decisions.

A summary of the research is available [here].
