As hosts Meghan (Smallwood) and Patrick (Cadigan) take a break for the summer, their friends at the Oregon Transition Podcast (OTP) graciously gave permission to use one of their fantastic discussions. OTP's episode explores the difference between Guardianship and exercising Supported Decision Making. OTP works to discuss the various ways individuals can be supported for daily decisions, job exploration, financial literacy and post-secondary training and education.

Thanks again to the Oregon Transition Podcast for their permission to share out their work! Find information about the Oregon Transition Podcast here and here.
