We know how overwhelming it can feel when your child is getting closer to adulthood. There’s paperwork, decisions, and so many questions about what happens after high school. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

That’s why we’re encouraging families to join Supported Decision-Making with Jane St. John—a free learning opportunity designed to help you understand your options, protect your child’s rights, and create a plan that truly fits their needs.

Why this matters:
🔵Learn legal ways to support your child after 18 without jumping straight to guardianship.
🔵Explore least restrictive options and how to build individualized supports.
🔵Get tools you can use right away to promote self-determination and independence in everyday life.

💻 Virtual: Wed, Aug 20, 2025 | 10 a.m.–12 p.m. CT
