About this session: The greatest worry of autism parents tends to be "Who will care for my adult child after I'm gone?" Though most autism parents, judging from DDS data, have a good decade or three or four before they become incapacitated or die, it's not too soon to think about putting pieces into place to help ensure the cognitively and functionally disabled adults will be properly cared for. These professionals will discuss several of the aspects to consider:
Conservatorships, post-parental
Trusteeships, post-parental
The role of private case managers
The role of the regional center case workers
