Presented by Maeranda Dorn, Boone County Court Designated Worker (CDW).
When a young person is charged with an offense, the legal process can feel overwhelming especially for families of youth with disabilities. This session will break down the role of the Court Designated Worker (CDW) in cases involving Beyond Control and Habitual Truancy, explain how parent and youth rights come into play, and walk families through what happens at each step of the process. Designed to be clear, accessible, and reassuring, this presentation will help parents feel informed, confident, and supported as they navigate the system alongside their child.
