April 27th Meeting - the last until August!
When: Monday, April 27th
Where: Vestavia Methodist Church
What time: 6:30-8:30 p.m. (speaker starts at 7)
Speaker: Chuck Andrews - Chuck is with Northwestern Mutual. He has an adult brother with Down Syndrome, and is familiar with the need to make sure a permanent source of funding is there to benefit the child after both parents deaths. He also talks about the importance of a letter of intent, and has good handouts. His company is a leader in working with families that have a child with a disability. Chuck spoke last year in a joint presentation with Katherine Barr. We learned a lot from him. Again, this is a meeting that I think all of us need to hear. Hope to see you there!

Patti shared...
“Having a resource like the PADS New Parent Group has been wonderful for our family because of everything we learn from the speakers and from other parents attending."
Julie commented...
"Initially, it was a safe place when I felt out of place. It was comforting to be among other parents who knew exactly where I was. It has been encouraging to see parents with children older than mine to see where they can go instead of where they won't. It has been a sanctuary for me, reminding me to be that to other parents who walk in my shoes."
Cameron remarked...
“It is the best chance to learn about the challenges my daughter might face and how to face them. The best part is that you learn from those who are already doing so. Coming has really helped me identify things I need to look out for and thus made me more confident. I always learn something I can apply to my life.”
