Topic Many parents of children with disabilities are uncertain as to whether they need to continue being the decision makers for their children beyond age 18 when the natural guardianship of parents ends. This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn more about guardianship including:

when guardianship is needed, the different types of guardianship and their implications,

alternatives to guardianship,

how to obtain guardianship,

how to choose a guardian, and the rights and duties of a guardian.
