For people with developmental and intellectual disabilities too often, “lacks capacity” really means “wasn't given a fair chance.” Capacity is not measured by how quickly someone understands an explanation that was rushed, full of jargon, or delivered only once. People with intellectual disabilities have the right to information presented in ways that make sense to them, with time to ask questions and support to understand. Before deciding that someone cannot make a complex decision, we should first ask whether we have done a good enough job of explaining it.
..

ID: Text reads: People with intellectual disabilities are often judged to lack capacity without proper support to understand. Image shows a professional-looking person is talking to a support worker. The speech bubble reads: “Tom lacks capacity to make complex decisions.” Person with intellectual disability with a thought bubble: You explained it once. Badly.
