A guardianship evaluation assesses whether an individual requires a legal guardian to assist with decision-making and ensure their well-being. This can be especially important for individuals with disabilities transitioning into adulthood, where a guardian may help manage personal, medical, and financial responsibilities.
When a child with a disability turns 18, they are legally considered an adult. In some cases, pursuing guardianship allows a parent or guardian to continue assisting them in decision-making, ensuring they are protected and able to function to their full potential in adulthood.
The evaluation includes a clinical interview, cognitive and emotional assessments, and a review of relevant records. It examines the individual’s ability to make decisions, manage daily tasks, and understand the consequences of their choices. This process ensures the court has a clear understanding of the individual's needs.
