Description: Many people are surprised to learn that when a child with a disability reaches age of majority (18), their parents are no longer their legal guardians. So how can parents protect the legal rights of their adult children? Is adult guardianship a viable alternative? What is the state of supported care in Ontario?

In this webcast, Brendon Pooran of PooranLaw will provide an overview of legal issues families and people with a disability should be aware of.

The session will provide:

• An understanding of the law in Ontario as it pertains to a person with a developmental disability
• An awareness of consent and capacity issues
• Legal instruments families can utilize
• Discussion on real life legal scenarios
