Making-My-Own-Health-Care-Decisions–A-Letter-for-to-My-Doctors
The goal of this letter is to help more people with disabilities make their own
decisions about their health.
This letter can be used as a supported decision-making agreement. A supported decision-making agreement is a form that describes when you want help to make your own decisions. It also says who you want to help you.

The National Council of Self Advocates (NCSA)
The National Council of Self-Advocates is the voice of self-advocates across all of The Arc’s work.
We look to:
- Engage self-advocates from diverse communities
- Help chapters support self-advocates
- Create opportunities for self-advocates to network and learn from one another
- Raise awareness about self-advocacy in NCSA member communities
We need you! Help us by:
- Sharing your expertise and furthering your knowledge on monthly calls on important self-advocacy topics
- Informing the work of The Arc’s national office and chapters by sharing how the programs being developed can support self-advocates
