Future Planning Workshops

LNO offers two kinds of workshops:  Planning workshops and information workshops.  Our information workshops vary depending on what the membership expresses interest in.  These can be one-day workshops or evening workshops on topics such as capacity assessment, Individualized Funding, ODSP, Alternative house, etc.

 

The Heart of the Matter

This is our planning workshop series developed in 2004 under a grant provided by The Law Foundation of Ontario. It is usually a two-part workshop held from time to time.  The first half is directed by the Facilitator Coordinator and may include presentations by facilitators and family members building networks. 

  • The focus in the first half is on securing an overall plan and the networks-building process. 

  • The second half focuses on legal and financial issues around planning a will and estate for a dependant with a disability.  We have volunteer lawyers and financial planners attend the second half to help clarify the issues and update us on developments and changes in the disability legislation.

Beyond Graduation Workshop

A workshop originally designed and piloted by PLAN Vancouver.  Parents of young adults with a disability who will be leaving the school system in the next few years have been very concerned about what the future will look like for them when school ends.  This one day workshop is aimed at making this transition less frightening and overwhelming.  The workshop provides a forum for information-sharing, goal-setting, and action planning for a ‘good life' beyond school. Click here for details.

The next Beyond Graduation workshop is being planned for October 2010.
