Autism Live: Conservatorship

PARENT TO PARENT ON AUTISM LIVE: GUARDIANSHIP & CONSERVATORSHIP — WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW

What happens when your autistic child turns 18? Does your family need to consider guardianship or conservatorship? What alternatives are available, and how can you protect your young adult while preserving their independence and right to make choices?

Join us on Autism Live for an important Parent to Parent conversation about navigating the transition to adulthood. We'll explore the basics of guardianship and conservatorship, supported decision-making, powers of attorney, financial planning options, and the questions every family should ask before making these important decisions.

Laws vary by state and country, but every family deserves access to information that helps them plan for the future with confidence.

Knowledge is power. Planning starts with a conversation!
