SUMMARY:WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY (WDSD)
DESCRIPTION:World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is always March 21st. It is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month\, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (Trisomy) of the 21st\nchromosome which causes Down syndrome. \nPlease join CCDSIG’s Awareness Campaign by creating videos to share at work\, school and/or on social media to educate and inform others about your loved one(s)! This year’s call to action is “We Decide!” All people with Down syndrome should have full participation in decision making about matters relating to or affecting their lives. We also encourage you to “Rock Your Most Unique Socks” and post pictures tagging CCDSIG with #CCDSIGRocks to help raise awareness! \nhttps://www.worlddownsyndromeday2.org/

SUMMARY:Caring for Your Loved One with Special Needs - What Every Caregiver Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:This free workshop provides an overview of financial & estate planning for families that have dependents with special needs. We address critical areas of concern\, such as navigating and maximizing government benefits through an overview of programs such as SSI/SSDI\, Waivers & Social Security. The workshop will also address important estate planning considerations such as Wills\, Special Needs Trusts\, and the differences between Guardianship and Powers of Attorney. Finally\, it will raise awareness of how special needs financial planning is different than traditional financial planning. Strategies will be presented to address funding of special needs trusts\, tax planning considerations\, and ensuring quality of life and lifetime care are maintained for loved ones. Our goal is to make sure you learn the importance of integrating all the necessary pieces into one cohesive plan\, so the vision you have for their child’s life can become a reality\, whether you are here or not. \nClick here to register!
