Education Events in Shaker Heights

Learn about the importance of POAs, HIPAA, and guardianship options to protect your loved one with special needs' future. When a child turns eighteen, everything changes legally — even if they still rely on you every day. For parents of young adults with special needs or disabilities, this milestone can feel confusing and overwhelming. Once your child becomes a legal adult, you may no longer automatically have the authority to access medical information, participate in educational decisions, or manage finances on their behalf. This educational session will walk you through the legal tools available to help you stay involved, supportive, and protective while respecting your child’s independence and abilities. Whether your child is high-functioning and mostly independent or needs more day-to-day support, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for protecting their future. This session is ideal for parents, caregivers, and family members planning for the transition to adulthood.
