We've touched on the theory of self-determination on the show before, but today, I'm thrilled to dedicate an entire episode to this important topic. Joining me for this deeper dive is Dr. Gina Riley, an expert in self-determination theory and motivation. This conversation will resonate with so many of you because it beautifully ties into themes we often explore here, like low-demand parenting and fostering our kids' natural passions and strengths. In this episode, Gina explains the theory of self-determination and dives into the science behind why it's so impactful, particularly for neurodivergent kids. We explore how it connects with autonomy-supportive parenting and discuss the three tenets of cognitive evaluation theory, which examines what fosters intrinsic motivation. We also tackle the hot topic of whether extrinsic motivators like stickers and rewards have a place and how to genuinely connect with our kids' interests—even when they differ from our own. About Dr. Gina Riley Gina Riley, Ph.D., is an educational psychologist, Program Director, and Clinical Professor of Adolescent Special Education at CUNY – Hunter College. She has conducted significant research on homeschooling and unschooling, an educational method and philosophy that advocates student intrinsic motivation as a primary means for learning. In addition to her research on self-directed learning environments, Dr. Riley has expertise in Supported Decision Making, an alternative to guardianship for students with disabilities. She is a faculty advisor for Supported Decision Making New York, promoting autonomy and self-determination for individuals with disabilities. Dr.Riley also has extensive experience in online, hybrid, and HyFlex education, having been actively involved in the field since 1998. Her contributions to educational psychology and alternative education models have been influential in shaping contemporary discussions on personalized and flexible learning approaches. Dr. Riley is the author of numerous academic articles and three books, including Unschooling:Exploring Learning Beyond the Classroom (Palgrave, 2020), The Homeschooling Starter Guide (Simon & Schuster, 2021), and The Joys of Self Determined Learning: A Collection of Essays (Ricci Publishing, 2022). She is the current President-Elect of the New York State Association of Teacher Educators. Things you'll learn from this episode What self-determination theory is, and how it's connected to intrinsic motivation Why a sense of competence, autonomy, and relatedness, as outlined in the cognitive evaluation theory, are crucial for motivation Why it matters that parents focus on facilitating autonomy and decision-making in their children What the science says about how and why intrinsic motivation leads to better academic and social outcomes in adulthood How intrinsic and extrinsic motivations can coexist and why it's important that they're balanced Resources mentioned Dr. Gina Riley's website Gina on Instagram Gina on Twitter Unschooling: Exploring Learning Beyond the Classroom by Dr. Gina Riley The Homeschooling Starter Guide: How to Create and Adapt the Best Education Action Plan for Your Needs by Dr. Gina Riley NYS Decision Making Curriculum (free decision making curriculum for schools and homeschools I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World by Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards on Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World (Tilt Parenting podcast) Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Dan Pink The intrinsic motivation of Richard Ryan and Edward Deci The Self-Driven Child, with William Stixrud and Ned Johnson (Tilt Parenting podcast) The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

This book cuts new ground by applying a human rights lens of analysis to domestic mental health laws. It makes a timely contribution into the discourse regarding mental health, supported decision-making and disability rights in the post CRPD era. In A New Era for Mental Health Law and Policy: Supported Decision-Making and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Cambridge University Press, 2017) Research Fellow Dr Piers Gooding challenges law makers to bring domestic laws into compliance with the CRPD. At the same time, Gooding confronts the pragmatic concerns which continue to shape these same laws, such as the case where a person's mental impairment is perceived as a risk to self or others. I had a great chat with Dr. Gooding in this hour; we spoke about arguments for and against coercive interventions, the right to and meaning of autonomy, tensions between rights based legalism and clinical governance, and more. We spoke about how domestic mental health laws have evolved since the 1980s, and especially since the introduction of the CRPD, and where to go from here. Some of the scholarship mentioned in our conversation included that of Tina Minkowitz, John Fanning, and the collaborative work of Piers himself with Bernadette McSherry, Cath Roper, and Flick Grey. Dr Piers Gooding is a Research Fellow at the Melbourne Social Equity Institute and Melbourne Law School, and is currently an Open Science Fellow at the Mozilla Foundation. His work focuses on the law and politics of disability and mental health, with a special interest in issues of legal capacity, decision-making, technology, and human rights.

In A New Era for Mental Health Law and Policy: Supported Decision-Making and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Cambridge University Press, 2017) Research Fellow Dr Piers Gooding challenges law makers to bring domestic laws into compliance with the CRPD. At the same time, Gooding confronts the pragmatic concerns which continue to shape these same laws, such as the case where a person's mental impairment is perceived as a risk to self or others. I had a great chat with Dr. Gooding in this hour; we spoke about arguments for and against coercive interventions, the right to and meaning of autonomy, tensions between rights based legalism and clinical governance, and more. We spoke about how domestic mental health laws have evolved since the 1980s, and especially since the introduction of the CRPD, and where to go from here. Some of the scholarship mentioned in our conversation included that of Tina Minkowitz, John Fanning, and the collaborative work of Piers himself with Bernadette McSherry, Cath Roper, and Flick Grey. Dr Piers Gooding is a Research Fellow at the Melbourne Social Equity Institute and Melbourne Law School, and is currently an Open Science Fellow at the Mozilla Foundation. His work focuses on the law and politics of disability and mental health, with a special interest in issues of legal capacity, decision-making, technology, and human rights.

Supported Decision Making with Jennifer McInerney, Attorney at Carney Dye Law Offices. _ Alabama Care is partially supported by http://www.ACDD.org The views expressed are not necessarily the views of these organizations.
We'll be back with new episodes in April, so until then we'll be releasing encore presentations of several early episodes that still ring true today. This month, we present our fifth episode, titled Supported Decision-Making. This episode was originally published on December 15, 2016, and supported decision-making, or SDM for short, is now going strong in Florida and many other parts of the US. Our guest for this episode, Michael Lincoln-McCreight, is currently the co-chair of the SDM4FL Coalition (and you can hear more from him in Episode 24: SDM4FL in 2021). As always, more work needs to be done to make SDM the preferred option in Florida over more restrictive options such as guardianship. Michael and others are currently working to formalize SDM into Florida law, so please enjoy this encore episode of You First.

As the year winds to an end, we begin to think about the new year and how prepared are we are for the future. What planning will we need to do, what will we need to change, what worked well, what didn't work well. For special needs families, the planning can sometimes be a little more challenging when it may include legal decision making regarding guardianship. In this podcast episode, Annette goes over some of the different types of guardianships (or conservatorships) there are and other important legal documents to have, as well as the importance of making sure the supported person is at the center of the decision making process. Annette begins by discussing some of the national and local developments that have taken place. The National Guardianship Network has called for a reform of the guardianship system and has proposed a guardianship bill of rights. They have proposed limiting guardianships where possible, maintaining person centered planning, right to counsel, supported decision making and better monitoring of guardianships to address abuse. Congress is also considering funding a national court improvement program. The Massachusetts Guardianship Policy Institute has brought about many changes in the guardianship process since 2015 including supported decision making. Annette then discusses the Brittney Spears case and how it brought so much national attention. Brittney was allowed almost no freedoms and every part of her life was controlled though she was performing and making money. This brought about the question of what does incapacitated look like? How can she be working and earning money, yet still need guardianship? Annette discusses one of the most important parts of this whole process – person centered planning. When you are planning for your special needs individual, you need to make sure they are at the center of this planning. You have to figure out first what decisions the individual can make and where they will need supports. Then review the list of available supporters and who may be preferred. Annette says, “remember that the supported person is at the center of the team and their voice is the most important one.” They need to have their own voice and be able to participate in their own future. Supported decision making is important – here are two online tools to help: Supported Decision-Making and Honoring Choices Massachusetts. Annette closes with the view that families will know what is best for them. There is no one right answer to the legal decision making process. The most important part is to remember Voice and Choice – the supported person should have his own say if he is able to and he should be at the center of all planning for his future supports.

Today, we sit down with Sam Crane, the legal director of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, to discuss guardianship and its superior alternative: supported decision making. Sam takes us way back to Ancient Rome to the roots of guardianship, all the way through present day cases like Britney Spears and Nichelle Nichols. Guardianship is often for life, and often results in someone outside of your family ultimately making decisions for your child, whatever you initial intentions may have been. It can affect your child's long-term job prospects, or even end with them institutionalized. You'll want to listen to this episode and check out the resources suggested by Sam to take the better path of supported decision making.

We all seek advice from time to time. Especially when confronted with a challenge that is unique to us. Sometimes that trusted advisor is a friend who has expertise in solving the problem we face, or a professional who can help us navigate our way to a desired outcome. And if all else fails, today we have YouTube tutorials in just about everything from how to open a jar of pickles, to Do It Yourself brain surgery! Help and support pervades our environment, if only we seek it. Seeking support in making decisions is a human condition regardless of ability. We learn and we grow as we work collaboratively and interdependently to solve problems and seize opportunity. If we aren’t allowed to make our own decisions we remain dependent on others at the expense of our own self-esteem and self-confidence.Today we learn about Supported Decision Making in Part 1 of a two part episode. We speak with the chairperson of the Michigan Developmental Disability Council, Bonnie Gonzales and Mary Sheehan-Boogaard the Community Inclusion Coordinator for the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council.Subscribe to Updates on our Main Page and Find Information and Resources at our Website.
The questions have been piling up in Host Annette Hines’ inbox so it is time to do a Q&A session. Making sure the disabled community has access to all the information they need is key to Annette. This is one reason why in addition to being a successful attorney, Annette is a podcast host, speaker, author and blogger. As an attorney, Annette does have an ethical responsibility though to not engage in a client /attorney relationship with someone who is not a client. Since each case is vastly different, she is not able to give legal advice on a personal level. These question and answer sessions allow her to give general information on a specific topic. In this episode Annette discusses Social Security, Transitions and Supported Decision Making. The first topic covered is Social Security and how your payments can be impacted by work. Annette discusses SSI and SSDI, and how they are impacted differently by work income. Annette also discusses how you can use supports for work as well as how to possibly avoid getting kicked out of program eligibility. If you are looking for additional information, the Social Security website is a great resource. Annette next goes into the topic of transitioning a young person with a disability into their next program. Covid created a huge problem last year when all programs went to a virtual format. Annette discusses how find and get a sense of a program and how it may work for your child when you are unable to visit the program in person. Annette’s final topic of the podcast is Supported Decision Making, which is very timely due to the state of Massachusetts recently reintroducing a statute regarding this. Annette discusses “Dignity of Risk” and how a disabled person may be able to use a Supported Decision Making agreement to retain his/her legal rights.

In this episode of the Inform podcast, we'll be discussing supported decision making. Dr Jo Watson, a speech pathologist and lecturer at Deakin University joins us to provide some background on support decision making along with some information about the process including the values of circles of support. Dr Watson will also provide some tips and advice about embarking on a process of support decision making. The key message Supported decision making is a mechanism for supporting people with disabilities who may be unable to make their will and preference clearly known, to make decision about their lives and live autonomously. According to Dr Watson, there are a number of key ingredients to supported decision making, which she explains in the episode, but the key message is about starting from the place of assuming that everyone can communicate and that everyone can make decisions. "I think probably the key message is that we need to make the assumption that everyone can communicate and everyone can make decisions, and that it shouldn't be a test of capacity. It should be a test of, perhaps if we're going to test anything, the support that is around someone so that's where the onus needs to be not on the individual's cognitive capacity to make decisions, but the amount and type of support they need to ensure their will and preference is reflected in decisions that are made about their lives."—Dr Jo Watson Supported decision making resources Decision-making support: Building Capacity within Victoria from Scope Ted Inspired Talk given at Financial Counselling Australia Conference 2016 by Dr Jo Watson 'Listening to those rarely heard' by Scope Supported Decision-Making in Victoria: A guide for families and carers Support My Decision Transcript You can find a transcript of this episode here: Inform Episode 11: Supported Decision Making transcriptDownload Do you have a story that you’d like to share?

Before her rights were taken away, Jenny Hatch had her own apartment, worked, spent time with friends, and went to a church of her choice. After a court ordered her into guardianship, Ms. Hatch found herself in a group home against her will with her cell phone and laptop taken away, cut off from her friends and not allowed to go to her job and church. On this episode of ADA Live!, Jonathan Martinis discusses his new book,” Supported Decision-Making: From Justice for Jenny to Justice for All!” Martinis, along with Dr. Peter Blanck, tells Jenny’s story including how she lost her rights under guardianship and how she won them back when she showed the court that she uses Supported Decision-Making (SDM) to make her own decisions with help from people she trusts. They also show how you can use SDM in your life, with family members, or people you support, including in programs like Special Education, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Person Centered Planning. In 2019, the National Council on Disability (NCD) reported that between 45% and 55% of people with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability (ID/DD) are under some form of guardianship. “Supported Decision-Making: From Justice for Jenny to Justice for All!” is a practical guide for family members, human service professionals, and people in or facing guardianship. Martinis and Blanck hope that people with disabilities and their families, friends, and professionals will use this book to help develop customized Supported Decision-Making (SDM) plans that protect the rights of the individual with a disability and empower them to make their own decisions.

In this episode of Advocacy for Inclusion's Supported Decision Making Podcast, we will look at the foundations for supported decision making. The person we support has the right to make their own decisions. It is also their right to make their decision on their own, ask for the support they need if or when they need it, and specify the kind of support that they want. We will also begin to explore the challenge of supporting a decision-maker when we have a strong opinion about the decision we believe is best.

Guardianship might be the longest standing law on decision making but it isn’t the best. Supported decision making protects people’s rights, has all of the good things of guardianship but in a better model, and encourages us to intentionally bring people together in a circle of support for people with disabilities.
In this episode, thought leaders Peter Blanck, Ph.D., J.D. and Jonathan Martinis, Esq., J.D. of the Burton Blatt Institute (BBI) at Syracuse University, will discuss recent court cases where rights were restored and Supported Decision-Making teams were established. Under Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), people with disabilities enjoy legal capacity — the capacity for rights and capacity to act — on an equal basis with others in all aspects of life. Supported Decision-Making (SDM) is a framework that supports this right and helps individuals with disabilities make choices about their own lives with support from a team of people. Supported Decision-Making is an alternative to guardianship.

In 2013, he represented Margaret "Jenny" Hatch in the "Justice for Jenny" case, which held that Ms. Hatch has a right to use Supported Decision-Making instead of being subjected to a permanent, plenary guardianship. Topics include: What rights do persons with disabilities have under a guardianship? What are the alternatives to guardianship if I think it’s too restrictive? What is supported decision making? How does it work? What other issues do I need to think about that will enable a person with a disability to live more independently in the community?
