Course Overview
A detailed and research-backed module giving you the tools and confidence to support people with decision making so they can exercise more choice and control in their everyday lives.
Why take this course?
Everyone deserves the right to make decisions about their own lives. But for people with cognitive disabilities, particularly those with intellectual disabilities or acquired brain injury, it’s likely they’ll need some support.
This 4 hour eLearning is for anyone who supports a person with an intellectual disability or acquired brain injury. We move the discussion away from “Does this person have the capacity to make a decision” and toward “What kind of support do they need to make a decision?”
In doing so, we’ll introduce the evidence-based La Trobe Support for Decision Making Practice Framework*, a practical framework that direct or frontline support roles can use on a daily basis, enabling the people you support to exercise greater choice and control in their lives. Because isn’t that what we all want?
*This online learning resource was led by Professor Christine Bigby and Professor Jacinta Douglas from the Living with Disability Research Centre at La Trobe University. It was originally supported with funding from the New South Wales Department of Family and Community Services (NSW FACS) managed by St Vincent De Paul Society NSW in partnership with the Living with Disability Research Centre.
