The article argues that plenary guardianship often violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and substantive due process rights by restricting individuals' autonomy and perpetuating segregation. It advocates for alternatives like supported decision-making to align guardianship practices with constitutional and ADA standards, promoting autonomy and inclusion.
