Special Needs Trust, Guardianship presentation at PAS

By Bernie | March 22, 2008

Hello Everyone!

We have a great opportunity that we cannot usually access unless we attend
a conference :)

Char Quade is an attourney from Boise who specializes in
Special Needs Trusts and Guardianship.

She is going to be in our area next week and has agreed to come to PAS to
do a free presentation for parents who might have questions or need more
information about these things.

I know many of you have children (or work with families) who are
approaching adulthood and might need to look into Guardianship. As some
of us have learned, we should start looking into these procedures when
our children are teens :)

She has agreed to have 2 sessions to make it more accessible to families.
She will be speaking Thursday evening, March 27th at 6:00 PM, and Friday morning, March 28th at
10:00 AM at PAS.

Families with children at any age might be interested in the benefits of
Special Needs Trusts.

Directions to PAS:
Take I-90 W. take exit #6.
Turn Left onto Seltice Way.
Right onto Bay (1st traffic light).
Right onto 3rd Ave.
1st Left into the ‘Computrol’ parking lot.
Use the main door in the Computrol Building.

Please RSVP to DottyQ@panhandleautism.org to let me know if you would like
to attend either of these sessions.

Thanks!
