ETB 58: What if the future of your loved one with a disability could be bright, secure, and filled with choices and alternatives? Envision a world where guardianship isn't the only path, where supported decision-making reigns supreme, and personal rights are preserved. This episode offers a detailed dissection of guardianship and its alternatives, shedding light on the game-changing Right to Make Choices supported-decision making toolkit - a Texas-based initiative.
We take you on a journey through the pivotal Jenny Hatch case and the subsequent reform of the Texas guardianship system in 2015, highlighting the importance of considering alternatives to guardianship such as medical power of attorney, durable power of attorney, and more. Hear the ins and outs of these alternatives, and how they can shape a brighter future for your loved ones. So, tune in, soak up the knowledge, and empower yourself to make informed decisions that truly make a difference.
