If I am a parent of an adult child with a disability, do I apply for legal aid or does my adult child?

The person with the disability is the one who needs to qualify for legal aid, so your adult child would be the one to apply. However, as a parent, you may be able to help your adult child complete the needed forms—especially if you have power of attorney for your child. When you call LAO to apply, you can explain the situation to the representative, to get more information on how to proceed with the application.
