Transitions Monthly Meeting Group (online via Zoom)

Parents and caregivers are invited to join Cotting School Family Support and Engagement Coordinator Naomi Zuckerman and CTI Program Manager Erika Cain on Zoom for a monthly group meeting centered on resources for transition planning! These are open groups where parents and caregivers can come together for conversations related to your young adult’s transition.

This online caregiver’s seminar will be led by Mary McDirmid, ChSNC, of All Needs Planning. When Mary isn’t helping families navigate the world of special needs financial planning, she is being a wife to Jay and a mom to Charlie and Ruth. In addition to her leadership role at All Needs Planning and a volunteer advocate for kids with rare diseases. She takes the title “Mom Boss’ seriously, just ask her! Mary understands the emotional and financial aspects of caring for a loved one with a disability because she is the parent of a child with a rare disease.

This workshop helps families understand the numerous stages to be considered while developing a special needs action plan for their loved one experiencing a disability. Top considerations we hear and help our clients with: government benefits, funding their lifetime, tax efficiency, insurance, housing, employment, trusts, ABLE and estate planning.  We believe that our clients are very capable of doing this planning, the emotional aspect cannot be overstated as the biggest culprit in procrastinating.  Being understanding of how math, emotion and habits intersect is our specialty.

The Zoom link will be sent out to you after you RSVP.
