Hasan’s Journey with Supported Decision-Making

This is a video of a young man with disabilities, Hasan Ko, sharing his story with using Supported Decision-Making. In Mr. Ko’s culture, guardianship was not something that was used, and so his parents did not know what it was when Mr. Ko’s teachers said he needed a guardian. Mr. Ko talks about how he and his family decided to use Supported Decision-Making instead. This is just one example of how someone might use Supported Decision-Making.  Everyone’s path is different!
