The Secretary shall enter into a contract with an independent entity, who is not a grant recipient under this Act and who has expertise in evaluating programs for people with disabilities or programs for older adults, to carry out an evaluation of the education programs carried out under this Act. In conducting the evaluation, the evaluator shall consider the impact of the education programs carried out under this Act on all participants served by the education programs and on each underserved demographic population (such as an underserved race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or type of disability) served by the education programs.
The evaluator shall measure program participants’ awareness of guardianship alternatives as a result of the education programs. The evaluator shall measure the dissemination of information on guardianship alternatives in the workplaces and communities of participants in the education programs, as a result of the education programs, to evaluate how far awareness of guardianship alternatives has expanded beyond the participants. The evaluator shall measure the effectiveness of the education programs on any additional criterion that the advisory committee advised the Secretary to adopt, and the Secretary adopted, in accordance with section 501(e)(4).
In conducting the evaluation, the evaluator shall identify any guardianship policy changes at the State level, including the creation of, removal of, or changes to guardianship policies.
