At the back of every parent’s mind lingers questions like: “what will happen when my child reaches adulthood,” “where will my child live when I am gone?,” “how can I afford to give my child the best possible life, now and once I am gone?,” and “what housing options work best for my child’s unique needs?” We will consider all of the elements of creating a successful legacy and estate plan: from financial and legal considerations to housing options. During our time together, we are going to dream a new dream for you and your family and then drop down into what it will take to realize that dream: introducing many of the concepts that will be discussed in detail by experts during AutismOne’s Housing Safety Track. Bring a pen and paper and get ready to co-create your future!
