(Bismarck, ND) Supported Decision-Making, known as SDM, went into ND law in 2019. The American Bar Association calls it a “cutting edge alternative to guardianship.” Supported Decision-Making is a process for making well-informed, voluntary decisions by methods less restrictive than guardianship or conservatorship. SDM allows individuals with disabilities to make their own decisions and stay in charge of their lives, while receiving help and assistance as needed.
