Transition Planning: Decision-Making Alternatives for Families of Individuals with Disabilities
Friday, October 30 at 10am
As young adults with disabilities and their families prepare for life after high school, families may have questions about how to support decision-making while respecting their loved one’s rights and independence. This webinar will provide an overview of guardianship and conservatorship, powers of attorney (POA), and advance medical directives (AMD), including their purposes, differences, and potential impact. Participants will learn about these decision-making alternatives and considerations for choosing the option that best meets their loved one’s needs. This presentation is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
