Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi All: Back when I worked with adults with intellectual disabilities we tried very hard to support individuals who retained guardianship over themselves - meaning, they had no guardian. Did they meet the criteria? Only with support - by being involved in our programs they did not need a guardian. I always thought this was the preferred way of doing things. My DH and I met with the attorney to do wills today - a person who is both an attorney and a social worker and she believes that ALL people with an intellectual disability need a guardian though some might only need a guardian over financial matters. Can any of you send me to a good website or article to read up on this? One of the things my husband and I both agree on is that when you have a 13 year old and a 15 year old it is really hard to plan because we don't really know what they will be like at 18 or 26 or 30. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Lori Mom to Isaac 15 and Tony 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
