DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED CHILDREN LEGAL ADVOCACY PROJECT

When a child turns 18 years of age, a parent loses their right to make decisions on behalf of the child.  If the child is disabled and unable to make their own decisions, a parent needs to become the court-approved guardian to continue to make choices for their child’s welfare — like making medical, education and social decisions on their behalf.

We provide free legal assistance to indigent parents to establish guardian advocacies for their children with developmental disabilities such as Intellectual Disabilities, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Spina Bifida, Phelan-McDermid Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome.

We also helped develop a comprehensive guide with the necessary pro se forms to assist local families to apply for guardian advocacies and also includes the forms for the Initial Plan and Annual Plans for the Guardian Advocate, which outlines the medical and social needs of the developmentally disabled person. The guide and forms can be found on the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit Court website.
