The process of planning for the future of disabled children is often overwhelming. 

 

In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I share how planning for the future of disabled children is a daunting yet essential task for their well-being and security. I talk about setting big goals for their future, including where they will live and work, who will support them, and the importance of creating a letter of intent to document their needs, routines, and preferences. I also highlight choosing trusted guardians and trustees who understand disabilities and complex systems like benefits and education. If you need support or resources to start this process, visit my website or reach out. You're not alone—I'm here to help.
