Jamie Beck’s Story

Jamie Beck, a 28-year-old with a mild intellectual developmental disability, has made history as the first person in Indiana to regain her decision-making rights through a Supported Decision Making agreement. Previously under guardianship, Jamie now legally makes her own choices with the assistance of a support team. This milestone, part of Indiana’s pilot program, showcases a significant advancement in empowering individuals with disabilities to lead independent lives. Jamie’s journey, including her successful employment and independent living, sets a precedent for others in similar situations.
