Do you need resources to help with the planning of your adult child living with Autism

Welcome to another episode of Beyond The Answer… one of The Answer Inc’s monthly series, designed to ensure that some of our best finds - across the world wide web - make their way into your inbox.

The news you can use of this episode, was found on The Autism Program website, and is in keeping with a larger conversation we started with you all - a couple months ago - on transitioning.


This episode has been appropriately titled  -  Becoming an adult - and beyond

The most important takeaway, as you watch this episode, is that thinking about the future can be challenging and even emotional.  However, planning for the future is a part of our lives as adults and as parents we should also help our child with special needs to plan his or her own future.  

So… its important that you know that resources are available to help self-advocates, parents, siblings, professionals, caregivers and other family members and friends begin the future planning process.
