A Partner that Can Help
There are several options to legally help an adult with developmental disabilities with making their own decisions, or, if necessary to decide for them. Some options allow parents to have the necessary authority to continue to assist their children with decision making once they have turned 18 years of age. Other options allow parents to make decisions for their children, if a court finds that adult with developmental disabilities does not have the ability or capacity to make decisions. However, each option is not appropriate for every adult child's situation.
This is where Turning 18 can help. We are a free non-profit service that can guide you through the process of finding the right solution for your adult child with developmental disabilities.
Our site was built with the help of advocates that have many years of real world experience in this area. We are committed to helping you find the option that allows an adult with developmental disabilities to have as much freedom as possible while having their critical needs met.
Please note that while there are several forms a parent can fill out on this site, we do not have Guardianship or Estate Planning forms at this time. We do however have a lot of content to help a parent determine if Guardianship or Estate Planning are the best option for their adult with developmental disabilities.
