SANYS Supported Decisions Storytelling Project

This 7-minute video was made by Self-Advocacy Association of New York State.

They believe all people with developmental disabilities have the right to make decisions about their lives. We feel that people with developmental disabilities make their decisions in different ways. Sometimes people make decisions on their own. Sometimes with support from others. Sometimes they get a little support and sometimes they get a lot of support. And sometimes people get more support than they want.

Self-advocates in New York decided to make this video showing self-advocates talking to their parents about how they make decisions. This video shows different ways in which people make decisions.
