Description

Are you ready to untangle the complexities of transition planning and become an effective advocate for your disabled person? Host Annette Hines, founder of Special Needs Law Group and Special Needs Family Services brings you an episode that can be a beacon to guide you through the maze of supports and resource systems. Whether you're a young disabled person stepping into adulthood, a caregiver stepping in for a sibling, or a professional wanting to offer the best for your clients, this episode promises to be a haven of insights.Let's begin by exploring person-centered planning. Identifying key questions, making sure the disabled person's voice is at the center of the life plan, and putting together an appropriate support team are all vital. But that's not all! We move forward into the unknown terrain of flexibility in planning and the pivotal role of evaluations and assessments in making transition as smooth as possible. There's also a discussion about how to navigate public benefits, housing, and state agencies, and even the legal decision-making process including understanding guardianship, supported decision-making agreements, power of attorney, and healthcare.Lastly, we invite you to check out and enroll in our exciting online transition planning course, the Special Needs Advocacy & Planning Masterclass (SNAP).  Designed for parents, caregivers, professionals, or disabled adults, this on-demand course offers the ability to design a personalized disability support and life plan through video modules, a course and workbook. With the optional group coaching sessions, participants receive an individualized support network and a platform to discuss and learn from others embarking on the same transition journey.   We look forward to welcoming you on this journey to become an empowered advocate! You can check out the course online and even get a free Disability Support Plan Worksheet: enroll.specialneedsfamilyservices.com/p/advocacy-planning-masterclass If you have questions about the course or coaching programs, we invite you to schedule a call with our team here: calendly.com/imartinez-31/specialneedsacademy Have you been searching for a law firm that understands the unique challenges of your family?
