Advance care planning

By Mary Beth Lepkowsky

It’s not uncommon for people with disabilities to confront bias when engaging with healthcare providers and systems. For example, providers might make wrong assumptions about people’s decision-making abilities and their goals for care and treatment. This bias can result in inappropriate care. Learn the benefits and the limitations of advance care planning and how to use person-centered practices to support advance care planning and end of life care.

  • Decision making standards and opportunities, including:
  • Competency and capacity
