How do you inform the people you support about constitutionally-protected rights, like freedom of speech? Do they know that it is their responsibility to respect other people’s views and opinions? Are they aware that support can be provided through adaptive communication technology? This is just one example of how CQL’s Rights Conversation Cards can help you educate people about their rights. These playing cards provide a fun and engaging way to spark discussion about a variety of rights involving decision-making, due process, privacy, voting, healthcare, finances, accessibility, and so much more!

Rights
Each of the 19 cards in this category has a listing of rights guaranteed to adult citizens of the United States, found in documents such as our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as in various acts, laws, and Supreme Court Decisions.
Responsibilities
The cards in this category have listings of responsibilities generally considered to be socially acceptable by members of the American community. Some responsibilities involve becoming aware of, and showing respect for, certain laws and legal restrictions that are imposed on all adult citizens.
Supports
The cards in this category list ideas, techniques, and skills that supporters can use to assist people in exercising rights and understanding responsibilities. These come from current trends in expectations of supporters and educators to provide more than basic skill training or custodial care.
