What Happens When Your Child Turns 18?
For parents of a child with a disability, the transition to adulthood can raise important legal questions.

Will your child be able to make decisions independently? What support might they need? Is guardianship appropriate?
Guardianship is a significant legal decision and should be considered carefully based on the individual's abilities, needs, and circumstances. Planning before the age of majority can help families better understand their options and prepare for the transition.

The School Year Is Almost Here! 🎒
A new school year means a fresh start and an opportunity to make sure your child's educational program is ready to meet their needs.

Before the first day, consider reviewing:

📌 Your child's IEP
📌 Current goals and accommodations
📌 Related services
📌 Transportation needs
📌 Assistive technology
📌 Behavioral or communication supports
📌 Recent evaluations and progress reports

Under IDEA, an IEP is a written plan that addresses a child's present levels of academic achievement and functional performance, measurable annual goals, and the services and supports needed for the child.

If you have concerns about your child's educational program, don't wait until the school year is well underway to seek guidance.

If You Have Concerns, Speak Up Early. 💙
Parents know their children better than anyone. If you notice changes in your child's behavior, communication, learning, or ability to participate at school, don't feel that you have to wait until things become a crisis before raising your concerns.

For children with autism and other disabilities, early communication with the school team can be an important part of addressing changing needs.

Keep records. Ask questions. Request meetings when appropriate. And don't be afraid to advocate for your child.

Your concerns matter.

📚 Understanding Your Child's Educational Rights
Did you know? The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) helps ensure eligible students with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) through individualized supports and services.

If you have concerns about evaluations, IEPs, 504 plans, educational programs and services, understanding your rights is critical.

Knowledge is one of the strongest advocacy tools a parent can have.

💡 True or False?

A Supplemental Needs Trust enables a person with disabilities to have a source of funds to be used throughout their lifetime that will not jeopardize their eligibility from certain means tested government benefits such as SSI and Medicaid.

✅ TRUE!
A properly structured Supplemental Needs Trust can be an essential part of long-term planning for individuals with disabilities.

If you're considering future planning for a loved one, understanding your options today can make a significant difference tomorrow.

👩‍⚖️ Guardianship: Planning for the Future
When a child with a disability approaches adulthood, families often wonder: "Who will help make important decisions if my child cannot do so independently when they turn 18?"

If your child has cognitive or functional limitations and is unable to make significant decisions on their own, a guardianship can provide you with the legal authority to assist in making healthcare, financial, and personal decisions to ensure your child’s safety and well being.

Every family situation is unique, and understanding your options is an important first step.
