This webinar is the third in a three-part series on The Next Generation of Freedom and Self-Determination: Moving Support Decision-Making from Theory to Practice. The Achieving Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act allows for opportunities for eligible individuals with significant disabilities to rethink their future goals regarding work, income saving and investment, and community participation. Over 25 states are now considering legislation to set a framework for the establishment and administration of ABLE accounts. This webinar will address questions regarding who will make decisions about savings goals and disbursements from ABLE accounts and if there are less restrictive options for account owners than guardianship and the removal of decision-making authority.
The webinar will be presented by:
- Lisa Mills, Public Policy Chair, TASH
- Allison Wohl, Executive Director, APSE
- Jonathan Martinis, Legal Director, Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities
