We are creating a place where families can gather to share ideas and plan to support their children with special needs.

This is a safe forum to share our thoughts, experiences and knowledge so that we better understand the struggles that lie ahead; an opportunity to bring families together to develop meaningful relationships so we can ensure our kids have a solid plan and better place to live when we are no longer here.

Zoom Video Conferencing 

Every 2nd Monday I will be hosting a virtual meeting via Zoom Video Conferencing where we can continue our discussions on planning, housing, independent living, and other topics that arise during this unique and challenging time. All you need to join is a computer with a microphone, and a camera is optional but great for connecting. Or, download the Zoom app onto your smartphone or tablet. It doesn't matter where you are located, you can join the community and the discussion!

In addition, a discussion of the role of Guardianship and Trusteeship Orders for Represented Adults and how those orders may impact the Estate. Finally, a brief discussion about Represented Adult Wills and what happens upon an intestacy (dying without a valid Will)?
