Originally aired January 16, 2026 ABOUT THE EVENT: In its 2025 session, the Utah Legislature adopted supported decision-making (SDM), a tool that allows people with disabilities to designate trusted individuals to help them in making decisions. Unlike other alternatives to guardianship, all decision-making authority remains with the person. All types of people can use SDM, including individuals with learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or mental illness, and SDM is also becoming popular with older adults. Studies show a person using SDM has greater self-determination and is less likely to experience abuse. With this new statute, Utah joined 22 other states and Washington, D.C., in making this mechanism formally available as a means for individuals with disabilities to retain the right to make decisions about their own lives. This ethics CLE spreads awareness of supported decision-making and how it may help clients and their families avoid guardianship.
