[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have any idea what you are talking about?  They cannot given informed consent, so yes it is appropriate.  We have legal guardianship of a parent with dementia.  She is no longer capable of making decisions.  We make all decisions including if pictures can be published by the nursing home.  She would not want her picture published so we did not consent.  As legal guardians, it is our right and responsibility that was given to us by the court.[/quote]
OP did not say that the participants had legal guardians. HFA is usually something that does not require guardianship into adulthood. It might be different for other intellectual disabilities but I would think that most HFA adults can make their own choices. It might be different for more severe autism.[/quote]

HFA could mean anything depending on the person.  She clearly said all the folks in the program had legal guardians.  If they have legal guardians, the guardians sign.[/quote]
