It’s never too early to begin planning for your loved one’s success in adulthood!

This seminar will provide an overview of topics that will help position your loved one for living a fulfilling adult life.
Registered attendees will receive our Long-Term Planning Guide!
ABOUT THE SEMINAR: Sarah Otto, Managing Director of Targeted Case Management of Kansas, and Sarah Mai, Executive Director of Down Syndrome Innovations, will share valuable information and resources from their collective 45 years of experience serving families with loved ones who have an ID/DD, while navigating ID/DD systems in Kansas and Missouri. Both professionals have a passion for educating parents and caregivers to ensure you have what you need to set your loved one up for a meaningful adult life.
This seminar is relevant for all developmental disabilities.
Our WHY: at Down Syndrome Innovations, our Team understands that in order to be a lifespan provider for your family it is essential that we support you in the process of planning ahead for your loved one with a developmental disability. The task list for future planning can feel daunting but we can help you prioritize and point you in the right direction. We have resources on hand related to community organizations with specific supports you might need. We can help you navigate the challenges at each age range throughout this journey. We know from parent testimonials that more options, and often more funding, are available in the adult years when caregivers have planned ahead.
