Digital communications, online communities, and digital learning environments often serve as connectors across these structures. The panelists will provide insight into how they approach the role of academic support in digital learning from the perspectives of a superintendent, chief information technology officer, principal, and educator, and discuss: including expectations for learner-centered environments; community engagement and outreach; the digital learning environment; parental communication and engagement; and the role of collaboration and teamwork.

The Southeast Regional Consortium and AUCD will present a webinar, “Who’s in Charge: Decision-making Options for Young Adults with Intellectual Disabilities,” April 17, 2013.

The instrument for providing assistance may be a plenary or limited guardianship, an advance directive for healthcare, a financial power of attorney, a representative payee, or a special needs trust. It should be narrowly tailored to meet the needs of the individual and should not restrict any more rights than absolutely necessary. The webinar will: provide an overview of adult guardianships, including the functional purpose of guardianship and the legal standard for appointment of a guardian; describe factors to consider when deciding whether to pursue full guardianship or whether to use a less restrictive alternative; and discuss the importance of preserving and promoting maximum independence in all cases.
