where you are in the planning process.

Will your Special person have the same
Quality of Life that he/she now enjoys today?

Yes    No   1. Have you defined the supports you believe your special person will need in the future in order to survive in the future?

(Check the choice that best applies)

a. 

My child will be dependent upon the State for housing and supervision.

b. 

I intend to leave my home as a group home.

c. 

I intend to purchase a condo for my child or to leave funds for that purpose

d. 

I intend that my child with disabilities will live with his or her siblings
Yes    No   3. Do you have a written FUTURE CARE PLAN to let others know what you want in the future?
Yes    No   4. Have you asked someone to serve as an Advocate or Guardian?
Yes    No   5. Do you understand all of the government benefit programs that are available to you?
