Guardianship

Each milestone your child has passed has had its positives and negatives, but reaching the age of majority is like no other. Upon turning 18 your child now may legally make his or her own decisions, regardless of the impact of his or her disability on cognition or decision making. It is possible that your school district or TEAM has approached you about seeking guardianship of some kind for your child. Here are some links to information you may need.
