  • Workshop – Hacks, Strategies, & Supports for Autistic Adults

    As a follow-up to our Intro to Autism Workshop, this 90-minute workshop will go through practical ways Autistic adults can find the support that they need. We will discuss how to determine what you need, and then some practical ideas on how to meet those needs. This will include possible service providers and how to find them, as well as some hacks and strategies that might work for you.

    Note that this is different from our benefits conference, which gives comprehensive information on how to get services covered by state benefits. This webinar is also open to parents, caregivers, and loved ones of Autistic adults.

  • Empower Students with I/DD: Healthy Relationship and Sexuality Resources

    Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill for us all. We are seeing more and more examples of those who have crossed lines in our culture. Even though people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are sexual beings, just like everyone, they also need the information and skills to navigate these waters and learn what's okay and not okay in various settings.

    This webinar will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality one-on-one with the individuals you work with. We will explore why this topic can be difficult to approach and useful tools that will help you become more comfortable and confident and communicate about this sensitive topic.

  • Parent Workshop: Post-SECURE Act Estate Planning: What Families Should Know About Inherited IRAs

    This workshop will cover the basics of any estate plan that includes a child with a disability, including whether a Will or a Revocable Living Trust is the best plan and the role of First Party Special Needs Trust as compared to the Third Party Special Needs Trust. But we will also talk about the dramatic changes in the way inherited IRAs are now treated, thanks to the passage of the SECURE Act. The preferential treatment that is now given to a disabled beneficiary of an IRA (or a trust for that beneficiary) has altered the planning landscape for many families. We will discuss how planning for a disabled child has changed in response to this legislation. Join us with Kim Martin, Attorney at Harrison LLP.

    Parent Workshops are held through Zoom. Participants will stay muted until Q&A at the end of the presentation.
