HAVE YOU HEARD the Children’s System of Care (CSOC),
Office of Constituent Affairs has a dedicated liaison to discuss guardianship-related matters for youth ages 18-21 with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD)?

The liaison collaborates with DCF staff and families on:

• Preparing for Determination of DD Eligibility for children & youth
• Preparing to apply for Bureau of Guardianship Services (BGS) and DDD
• Understanding Adult Medicaid to apply for BGS and DDD services

CSOC is committed to ensuring youth with I/DD have a smooth transition when guardianship services are needed beyond age 21.

Please review the attached handouts for an overview of these processes.

Want to refer a young adult with I/DD for guardianship
or discuss the youth’s future? Have questions?  The CP&P caseworker,
CMO care manager, young adult, and/or advocate can email us any time: [email protected]
