Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi I saw this post on the Autism Mercury post, since a lot of us are in the GA area maybe someone knows of a service that can help him. I don't know a lot about day or after school services for autistic children (since I home school) or other programs that might help. So any help I am sure this parent would appreciate.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 This post makes me think about the necessity to have EVERYTHING written out for my husband or even a possible guardian. Developing a will was so stressful - I hated thinking about the possibility of something happening to my husband or I or both of us that would leave my children in need of care by someone other than ME. Yet realistically I knew I needed to have a plan in place in case that happened. That plan mainly takes care of the who and the financial matters. Reading this post, I started to consider my lack of a clear plan for someone else to step in for me in managing my kids doctors appointments, medications, therapies, school related services etc. It is all in my office and I can find it and access it quickly but could someone else keep up with my children's needs if I was in a serious accident and unable to communicate ... or worse. Just as I prepare a budget each year and update our financial info for attachments to our will, I need to prepare "snapshots" on each of my children and update them each year. Have any of you done this? Any suggestions?
