Critical Crossroads: New Resources for Recognizing and Addressing trauma in Children and Youth with Disabilities

Zoom Webinar - Presented by PWCS - Parent Resource Center - May 30, 2025

  • Children with disabilities and other specialized needs are much more likely to be exposed to traumatizing events and circumstances than their nondisabled peers. However, resources specific to trauma and its impact on children with disabilities are limited. In this session, videos and print resources featuring voices of families impacted by trauma and disability will be screened. Furthermore, user-friendly checklists designed to help families advocate for trauma-informed education evaluations and IEPs will be shared in an interactive format.

Tools in the Capacity Toolbox: Powers of Attorney vs. Guardianship/Conservatorship

Zoom Webinar - Presented by PWCS - Parent Resource Center - June 6, 2025

  • No matter who we are or where we come from, there are times when we all need a little help making those everyday personal or medical decisions. Whether we can fully grasp the nature and consequences of a decision determines which tool we should use. The two most common tools are powers of attorney and guardianship/conservatorship. Knowing the ins and outs, similarities, and differences between them can have lasting effects. Meet Jenn Crane, a trusts and estates attorney specializing in special needs and elder law.
