 This report’s results suggest that surrogates can adequately represent consumer's views about satisfaction with personal assistance, and therefore provide encouragement to continue investigation of the utility of surrogate representatives. The study results also replicate previous findings that persons with cognitive impairments and persons with severe disabilities are able to express their preferences for everyday matters.
