Parent Planning with Purpose - October 15, 2026
A Hands-On Workshop for Parents of Adults with Disabilities
At the end of the day, parents are the ones who must understand the highly specialized, complex long-term plan for their individual child, connect the pieces, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. That means coordinating a already highly complex legal, financial, and government support planning. When parents don't understand the intricacies of each area, the long term risk can be be devastating.
The GANCC Parent Planning with Purpose Workshops is built to help navigate.
We're bringing together a special needs attorney and a financial advisor who specializes in disability planning into one room, at one table, for parents - to teach everyone how the legal and financial sides of a disabled adult's plan works together ... and how to manage it going forward.
Right now, most parents are flying blind.
Parents may be starting or already have a special need trust — but do you understand how to fund it? You may be applying for or already have government benefits in place — but do you know what triggers a loss of SSI or Medicaid? You may be creating a will and an estate plan — but does your extended family know how to leave money to your child without destroying the benefits they depend on?
For example, Grandma passes away and leaves your child an inheritance directly - with nothing but love behind it. The money hits your child's bank account. Suddenly they're over the resource limit. SSI - gone. Medicaid - suspended. Support, medication, daily care - all at risk. Not because of bad intentions, but because the family didn't understand the highly complex rules.
This is preventable ... and we are here to help you understand how it all works.
What parents walk away with.
The knowledge to understand how your child's legal and financial plan works as one integrated system. A roadmap connecting the legal documents to a real funding strategy. The ability to ask the right questions, catch the gaps, and guide your family. The confidence to lead your child's planning team.
This workshop puts you in the driver's seat.
Our GANCC Parent Planning Workshop is here to teach you how the pieces fit together — trusts, government benefits, ABLE accounts, estate plans, inheritances, long-term funding — so that you can manage your child's plan with confidence. So you know what to ask your attorney. So you know what to tell your financial advisor. So you can sit down with your parents, your siblings, your family, and explain exactly how they can help without accidentally causing harm.
