What is Guardianship & Supported Decision Making?
February 23, 2021 at Noon
Commonly, parents of children with developmental disabilities are encouraged to seek guardianship when their child is approaching age 18. But that may be an overly restrictive intervention. Learn how Supported Decision Making, a nationally recognized option, can maximize self-determination while acknowledging concerns related to vulnerability for people with disabilities. This session will discuss approaches to respond to vulnerabilities as well as tips for discussions with families considering guardianship.
Presented virtually by
Anita Raymond, Center for Excellence in Supported Decision Making
