Creating A Safe and Secure Future – Supporting People with Disabilities and Their Allies to Plan for the Future

Since over 70% of North Americans die without a will, it is no surprise that people with disabilities and their allies (family members, supporters, legal representatives) have not made plans for what happens when a key ally or family member dies. This can create a crisis and often very negative life experiences for the person with a disability. This lecture proposes four questions that need to be addressed as well as resources for people to use to take action on this important topic.
