“Guardianship has been the default option for people who “need protection” for centuries. It’s time to rethink that option. There are people who have a legitimate need for a guardian; however, many other people could be better served by simply getting some support to make decisions. Supported decision-making is being utilized across the globe both as an alternative to guardianship and as a way to increase self-determination for all people with disabilities and older adults.” – Laura Butler
