Sarah Taub NCI Webinar Series: What Do NCI Data Reveal About the Guardianship Status of People with IDD Receiving Services?

July 23, 2019

3:00PM-4:30PM Eastern Time

As a complement to the latest data brief, NCI staff will present the next installment in the Sarah Taub NCI Webinar Series: What Do NCI Data Reveal About the Guardianship Status of People with IDD Receiving Services?

You can see the data brief here.

This webinar will explore the characteristics and outcomes of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who have full or partial guardianship compared to those without guardianship. The webinar will also pose some starting points for examining the need for guardianship reform and the ways in which supported decision-making (SDM) can be expanded and alternatives instituted. DC has been successful in creating legislation around SDM and the District is working to encourage families and individuals to think about and use SDM. The work in DC will be described in this webinar. The webinar will then look at a Missouri initiative that has helped families understand the nature and implications of guardianship and has resulted in reform legislation.

Presenters:

• Val Bradley, President Emerita of HSRI
• Erin Leveton, Deputy Director Quality Assurance & Performance Management Administration, Department on Disability Services, Washington DC
• Jane St. John, UMKC, Missouri
