Question 8 of 9

Select the principle of the Code of Ethics (COE) that the following right is most closely connected to:

"People with developmental disabilities have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives."

A. "As a DSP, I will assist the people I support to direct the course of their own lives."
B. "As a DSP, I will safeguard and respect the confidentiality and privacy of the people I support."

The principle of the COE is most closely connected to self-determination. This principle emphasizes that people with developmental disabilities have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives, and as a DSP (Direct Support Professional), it is crucial to assist them in directing the course of their own lives.

Safeguarding and respecting confidentiality is also important, but the right to self-determination is more directly linked to the empowerment and autonomy of individuals with disabilities.
