​Parent presentation by Sheldon Sweeney and Suzanne Burke
Topic:  Financial Strategies and Estate Planning for Parents
April 27, 2022
5:30-7pm
 
Special Services is hosting Sheldon Sweeny, Snider Financial Group and Suzanne Burke, from Assure Law Group on Wednesday, April 27th from 5:30-7pm.  Mr. Sweeny and Ms. Burke will be presenting on the topic of Financial Strategies and Estate Planning.  There are three Phases of Family Life, based on age, for a child with special needs: Pre-Guardianship, Post-Guardianship, and Independent Living. Each phase has its own unique financial challenges. However, with proper planning, parents/guardians can hopefully find peace, knowing that their child’s financial well-being is protected throughout their life span as well as in the event of an unforeseen life change. We will discuss the resources available to you and have an open conversation where you can ask questions and/or share life experiences.  Free to all who would like to join.

With school closures, classroom quarantines, and staffing shortages, how can you ensure your child with learning differences can continue to develop reading skills and learn?

Join Bookshare, Understood.org, and two students with their parents, to share reading strategies, tips, and resources that can support students with learning differences such as dyslexia, in the classroom and at home.

This webinar is intended for parents of children who struggle to read and is open to the public. Bookshare is a FREE ebook library, funded by the US Department of Education, that empowers students with reading barriers such as dyslexia, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, and blindness, to read in ways that work for them. Understood.org helps those who learn and think differently discover their potential, take control, find community, and stay on positive paths along each stage of life’s journey.
