Alternatives To Guardianship For People With Developmental DisabilitiesMedical providers, families, and schools often treat guardianship as the default for adults with developmental disabilities, viewing it as harmless and inevitable. There are risks and downsides to guardianship, even when the guardian is acting in good faith. There are numerous formal and informal alternatives to guardianship that allow people with developmental disabilities to communicate preferences and direct their own lives, while still receiving support from family, friends, and professionals. This presentation will discuss alternatives to guardianship, why alternatives are important, what the alternatives are, and practical tools for implementing these tools in professional and family settings.
