| The Florida Developmental Disabilities Council along with its organizational partners recognizes that making legal decisions with and for individuals with disabilities can be challenging. The purpose of these workshops is to increase knowledge about the various ways to provide decision-making assistance available under Florida law, including guardianship and guardian advocacy.
During the summer of 2009, six live workshops were held throughout Florida. An 8-hour session was targeted to attorneys and an 8-hour session was targeted to individuals with disabilities and their families. These workshops were held:
- June 19 and 20, 2009 Jacksonville
- July 10 and 11, 2009 West Palm Beach
- July 17 and 18, 2009 Sarasota
The 2009 Post-Workshop Evaluations are in and it is an overwhelming consensus the "Lighting the Way to Guardianship" live presentations and webcasts were a success! This was made possible through the strong collaboration between the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council, Project Partners, and Speakers. Thank you for your contribution, dedication and commitment. It is because of their expertise, guidance and hard work, this project met its objectives of providing quality information and valuable training to individuals, families and those in the legal profession.
