“Do I HAVE to get conservatorship?” Every day, parents of people with disabilities are told they MUST get conservatorship over their children – they hear it from friends and family, teachers, lawyers, and doctors. And, every day, parents spend thousands of dollars on attorneys and court costs, experts, and evaluations, because they think that’s the right thing to do.
Through a grant from the WITH Foundation, The Arc of California, in collaboration with Burton Blatt Institute and KPS4 Parents, has created a comprehensive 5 part video training module in both English and Spanish on Supported Decision-Making as an alternative to conservatorship. The trainings cover all aspects of the theory, process, and even step-by-step approaches for implementing a Supported Decision-Making plan. Parents and individuals considering conservatorship are highly encouraged to view the trainings.
