Guardianship and Alternatives for People with Developmental Disabilities Report
Pre-Solicitation Notice of Funding Opportunity for a Cooperative AgreementThe National Council on Disability (NCD) will seek proposals for a project which is intended to examine the role of guardianship and supported decision making in the lives of adults with Intellectual and developmental disabilities
(ID/DD).
This report will examine systemic issues that undermine the ability of adults with disabilities to make decisions for themselves and experience what has been called the “dignity of risk” as well as the alignment or misalignment of guardianship with the goals of the ADA and the DD Act.
The report will examine the extent to which people with developmental disabilities are treated differently under states’ guardianship laws in contrast with others who may need decision making assistance.
Finally, the report will assess the prevalence of guardianship for adults with DD and how the transition process required under IDEA leads to guardianship as an outcome or to alternatives to guardianship such as supported decision making.
NCD expects this report to discuss whether alternatives to guardianship, including supported decision making, lead to better overall outcomes for people with ID/DD than traditional surrogate decision-making models such as guardianship and whether increasing the use of alternatives can achieve better outcomesThe estimated contract period is 7 months.
NCD will distribute its Guardianship and Alternatives for People with Developmental Disabilities Notice of Funding Opportunity to interested parties on May 31, 201 8. NCD will expect interested parties to submit their responses by COB (close of business) June 21, 201 8.
