Determining Eligibility

In order to guide you to the best solution between Guardianship and Guardian Advocacy, we need to understand the diagnosis the adult with developmental disabilities has.  ​

The below diagnosis may qualify for Guardian Advocacy under Florida law:

• Intellectual disability
• Cerebral Palsy
• Autism
• Spina Bifida
• Prader-Willi
• Down syndrome
• Phelan-McDermid syndrome​
  

This disability needs to have manifested before the age of 18 and constitute a substantial handicap that can reasonably be expected to continue indefinitely.

Does the adult with developmental disabilities have one of the above diagnosis?

If the adult with developmental disabilities does not have one of the above diagnosis, there are still great solutions on our website to meet their needs. 

​We need an accurate answer to this question so we can guide you to the right solution.
