“One area of HUGE concern for parents and caregivers is ‘what happens when they are gone … how will their children survive?’…”
Tickets are disappearing fast!!!
We are very excited to invite you to an event (available live or via webcast) that is a major interest to anyone supporting a child or adult with FASD (or any neurological disorder or disability such as Down Syndrome, Autism, etc).
One area of HUGE concern for parents and caregivers is “what happens when they are gone … how will their children survive?”. As we all know, individuals with FASD rarely are able to lead independent lives – and most have a major difficulty managing money. The Henson Trust exists however most parents are not aware of it … and perhaps more importantly, there are some very serious negative implications due to ODSP maximum income limitations. As a result, a Henson Trust may not be the best vehicle to provide a disability trust.Speaker: Jennifer Stebbing; Ross McBride
