Framework for Determining Dependent Adult Status eLearning
Course Description
Determining if an individual is a dependent adult and is eligible for APS services is complicated. Many people confuse dependency with disability and think that if someone has a disability that person must be a dependent adult. But disability and dependency are not equivalents and having a disability does not automatically translate into being eligible for APS services. Dependency involves a disability, functional impairments, and an inability to protect one’s own interests. In addition, in order to be eligible for APS services there must be a need for protection and a link or nexus between the disability or functional impairments and the protection issue.
