Meaningful Employment for People with DD

Notes from January 28th - Lindsay Krumbholz - Golden Scoop

We have had clinics, non-profits, educators, doctors and therapists talk to us about educating and treating our young children with special needs. We have had some excellent speakers explain the ins and outs of ABLEs accounts, special needs trusts, and estate planning. Lindsay is our first speaker to address what happens between those two. What happens when my child with special needs reaches 18? What do I need to do now to be ready? Lindsay opened my eyes to the fact that there was so much I didn't know that I didn't know.
