Everyone has the right to make decisions about their life.

This includes people with disability.

You have the right to be part of the big and small decisions about your life.

You have the right to speak up about

  • What you want
  • What you like
  • How you feel

People should listen to you.

I had to decide what to do when I left school.

Mum and I visited different programs together.
I chose to spend a day at a work skills program.
I really liked it because I could learn a lot of things
and my friends were also going. I told mum that was the program I wanted to choose.

 

Is there a decision you would like to make now? You can write down your decision on this worksheet.
