Name
Preserving Individual Dignity and Self-Determination for Students with Disabilities.
Description
Too often, parents are told to place their children with disabilities under guardianship when they turn 18. This session will explain why this practice is inappropriate, harmful to the civil rights of students with disabilities, and contrary to the IDEA. The session will explore more effective, less restrictive alternatives that preserve the dignity and self-determination of transition-aged youth and set them up for success as adults.
