This report is written for service providers, families, friends, carers and other who support people with learning difficulties who have high support needs to make choices. It uses real life stories to challenge the idea that people with high support needs cannot make their own decisions. It discusses current practice and law, suggesting both are often limited in vision and technique, and offers a model of supported decision making as a solution. It is accompanied by a workbook 'It's your choice' written in plain English, with pictures, to tell people with learning difficulties about making decisions.
