Support on decision-making

On 22 July 2026, the Parliament of Catalonia
approved a law stating that people with disabilities
have the right to make their own decisions
with the support they need.

This means that people with intellectual disabilities
have rights and responsibilities before the law
and can make their own decisions,
with support from other people
who can help them in different areas
of their lives whenever they need it.

At Som – Fundació,
we provide this support
to the people with intellectual disabilities
we assist:

• Social support
• Financial and administrative support
• Legal support

A team made up of
a support coordinator
and a social support assistant
provides social support.

At Som – Fundació,
we work to promote the inclusion
of all the people we support
in society and in the workplace.

We do this by promoting
their independence
and providing support
in emergency situations.

We also support people
in their daily lives
and are there when they need us.

Everything we do takes into account
each person’s participation
in making decisions
about their future and their life,
respecting their wishes and preferences.

The team is made up
of financial and administrative
support coordinators.

They support the people we assist
with managing their finances.
They help them make decisions
that are in their best interests
and prepare their financial records
for submission to the courts.

Som – Fundació’s legal experts
are lawyers.

They help the people we support
access justice,
answer their legal questions
and, when necessary,
defend their rights.
