Special Needs: Planning for the Future,  Christopher and Theresa Waddell

If you are the parent or guardian of a child with special needs, you need to educate yourself about the many options available. It is never too early to start planning for your child’s future.

How can you ensure that your child receives appropriate therapies and medical treatments? How can you present the nature of your child’s disabilities and needs to those who may care for them without “scaring” them away? How can you find appropriate caregivers who will carry out your wishes and respect your child’s goals, dreams and life expectations? In this workshop we will address these issues, as well as:  What you need to know about living arrangements, wills, trusts, guardianship and other estate planning issues; Trusts, including special needs trusts and how they differ from other types of trusts; Guardianship issues; Advance medical directives; and How to create a sound financial plan for your special needs child
