Description

Voice and Choice is a term host Annette Hines developed to refocus the decision-making process on the disabled person to ensure that their voice is heard and their choices are honored. She explores how to support legal decision-making for your disabled person; recent developments related to guardianship; the Britney Spears conservatorship case; what we have learned from the Covid pandemic; and fundamentals of the options related to legal decision-making.  A depravation of civil liberties is at the core of the Britney Spears case, the early response during the Covid pandemic for disabled people in group homes, and is the reason why it's so necessary to examine whether there are other options for supporting decision-making aside from a guardianship or conservatorship.  We'd love to hear what you think of this episode! Join our Circle of Care Facebook group to become part of a support network and discuss these issues within the disability community.Have you been searching for a law firm that understands the unique challenges of your family?

We offer inspiration, support, expertise and a wide range of discussions that will help you survive and thrive as you support your loved one with special needs. Imagine yourself having coffee with a friend and discussing all the important challenges in your life – but your best friend is an expert!
