| Planning for
the future (general) |
|
|
- Individuals with developmental disabilities: When
I move away from home, how will my basic needs (e.g., food, clothing,
shelter) be met? What do I need? What do I want? What do my parents
want for me? How will my service and support needs be met?
- Parents and family members:
What kinds of living arrangements are possible for my adult son
or daughter with a disability? Would it make sense to leave the family
home for my son or daughter? Help him or her buy a condo or mobile
home? How would we go about it? What about wills, trusts, and estate
planning?
- Both individuals and
their families: What public benefits (e.g., SSI, SSDI, Section
8, IHSS, Medi-Cal) are available to help? How are these benefits accessed?
What should I look for in an alternative living arrangement? How can
we develop a family game plan to move toward our desired futures?
How will I recognize a good 'fit' between what I need and want and
what the living arrangement offers?

The
course was developed in part through the North Bay Housing Coalition
and a grant from the California State Council on Developmental
Disabilities. If you would like more information on the course
and how it could be taught in your community, please e-mail John at

Over
a twelve month period in 1992-93, Families
Look Ahead Together! was developed to demonstrate the
kind of support that can assist families of older children with
disabilities in examining options and planning ways to meet the
needs, hopes, and dreams of each family member.

of living arrangements has expanded considerably over the past few
years. Allen, Shea & Associates is prepared to help people plan
for cost-effective services and supports in a
