What?
So many choices!  Do you know there are options to support young adults as they become decision makers?  During this webinar, the presenters will discuss various ways to support individuals with significant disabilities after age 18, and will introduce the Alternatives to Guardianship Toolkit.  Specifically, the presenters will talk about:
  • Supported Decision-Making

  • Powers of Attorney

Please note: some of the resources shared may be Montana-specific.

Intended audience:  Families of youth/young adults with disabilities, educators, counselors, service providers, and others who support young people in their transition to adult life.

Presenters:
Theresa Baldry is a proud mother of six children, including a son with a disability. Her belief that "knowledge is power" has directed her areas of employment in the disability field. From 2001-2016, she worked for PLUK, Parents Let's Unite for Kids supporting families and served as a member of the Leadership Team. Technology has played a key role in her son's life and as his primary support for the last 20 years, she has needed to stay in front of what he has wanted that technology to do. She began working for MonTECH in October 2012, to share the wealth of knowledge they have learned over the years. In 2016 she began working for the Pre-Employment Transition Services Technical Assistance Center, with the Rural Institute, as a project coordinator in Eastern Montana. Today she is the Project Coordinator for Montana Transition Resources, a project funded by Children's Special Health Services. She serves on the Disability Rights of Montana Board of Directors, currently as the president. Theresa has been a member of the Rural Institute Consumer Advisory Council since 2010 and has presented at numerous conferences and webinars as a Council member.
