Humanex Academy is excited to once again be hosting this great workshop for parents at Humanex and in the community. Please note that there are only 15 spots available, so make sure to RSVP early.

Description of Workshop: Does your child struggle with executive functioning, sensory, attention, memory, mood issues or age appropriate independence skills? As our kids’ approach “post -secondary” age, what are their
opportunities, what supports and services are in place for them? How do we access those? Will
my child even qualify? What about vocation and education? Do we need a special needs trust?
What do we need to be prepared for legally and financially? How do we plan if we aren’t sure our
child will be employed and living independently? What if they are later?

This is a “ZOOM” VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

RSVP by OCTOBER 5TH to Lucie Cardwell lcardwell@financialguide.com or 720-259-6070. We will
send you the proper link and ID for the workshop.

To allow for questions and time, we like to keep these workshops to a maximum of 15 attendees. First come, first serve. Learn coordinated financial and legal strategies that provide a desired outcome for your
child and family. Explore potential eligibilities for public benefits, resources and services that
benefit your high functioning child.
