Voice and Choice: Guardianship and Legal Decision-Making

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.
