Special Needs Planning & Special Education Advocacy
November 12, 2020 | By Littman Krooks attorney Laura M. Brancato, Esq., | Many people operate under the assumption that, in the event they are unable to care for themselves, a friend or family member will step up to manage their financial, legal, and medical affairs. New York State Mental Hygiene Law proscribes legal interventions which can be taken on behalf of an incapacitated person. These proceedings can be complex and challenging and can vary depending on the nature of the incapacity. There are many basic decisions that cannot be made until the family agrees upon, or the court identifies, a guardian for an incapacitated individual. Join Laura Brancato, Esq., to discuss mental health issues and the law, specifically the types of incapacity that are addressed by Article 81 and Article 9.

For parents of a child with a disability, preparing for your child's transition to adulthood and independent living involves careful planning. All special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act end after your child turns 21 or graduates from high school with a regular diploma. In New York, specifically, services end when your child is awarded a Regents or local diploma or by aging out-on June 30th of the school year that your child turns 21. You and your child need to be prepared for this precipitous end of services. A transition plan reflects the vision of both you and your child regarding what sort of life he or she will lead as an adult. This webinar will cover: * Diploma pathways update * Accommodations and supports for Post-Secondary Education * ACCES-VR * OPWDD programming and supports - self-directed and traditional models
