SUMMARY:Perkins School for the Blind Four-Part Guardianship Series - Part 1: Self-Determination and Legal Considerations
DESCRIPTION:Age of majority is the transition from childhood to adulthood\, and an important benchmark for individuals with disabilities. The age of majority is 18 in most states. If individuals are their own guardian\, they are legally responsible for their life actions in areas of finance\, healthcare and education. \nIn this first workshop in our four-part series on Guardianship\, we’ll have a conversation about the key aspects of coming of age and explore how we can support individuals in being self-determined with the least restrictions\, with safeguards in place. \nGuest Speaker: Heather Connors\, Executive Director\, The Center for Guardianship Excellence \nDate: June 4\, 2024 \nTime:  12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Eastern Time) \nRegistration and more information: Perkins.org/GuardianshipSeries

SUMMARY:Perkins School for the Blind Four-Part Guardianship Series - Part 2: Supported Decision-Making for Independence and Growth
DESCRIPTION:Supported decision-making (SDM) is a unique and empowering process for helping a young adult without taking away legal rights in court. It is gradually becoming recognized worldwide so that a young adult’s SDM team can have access to information previously provided only to legal guardians. \nSo\, how does a young adult or family decide if SDM is right for them? If a guardianship is in place\, is it possible to use SDM in addition? And could successful SDM signal a need to end a legal guardianship? \nIn this 2nd workshop in our four-part series on Guardianship\, we will answer common questions about choosing and using supported decision-making. \nGuest Speaker: Heather Connors\, Executive Director\, The Center for Guardianship Excellence \nDate: June 11\, 2024 \nTime:  12:00 – 1:00 p.m. EDT (Eastern Time)

SUMMARY:Perkins School for the Blind Four-Part Guardianship Series - Part 4: You Have Been Appointed Guardian\, Now What?
DESCRIPTION:Guardians are appointed to provide decisional support in areas where a young adult has challenges. For family guardians\, who have been caring for the person through childhood\, this transition comes with new rules. And some of the rules are shocking. To make it even more confusing\, many loved ones aren’t even made aware of what they are expected to do (or not do). \nIn this last workshop in our four-part series on Guardianship\, we will share the top 10 things new guardians must know. This list includes what great guardians do to create a successful experience for the adult-with-a-guardian\, for the state or court that appointed you\, and for yourself. \nGuest Speaker: Heather Connors\, Executive Director\, The Center for Guardianship Excellence \nDate: June 25\, 2024 \nTime:  12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Eastern Time) \nRegistration and more information: Perkins.org/GuardianshipSeries
