If you set out to climb the Himalayas it would be wise to hire a Sherpa. Why, you ask? Because the climb may be treacherous and your mistakes very costly! A sherpa has been on the path many times and knows how to climb to the top with positive results. How much do you want to leave to chance? The same may be said about navigating the challenges and obstacles ever present for people with disabilities. Legal planning, financial planning, benefits planning, educational programs, work incentives (and disincentives), IEPs, Person Centered Planning, Medicaid Waivers, Social Security Disability, affordable and accessible housing, transportation…. All these added together make that Himalayan climb look like a walk in the park! If you need help, you may find Vitalxchange is the answer…or your Sherpa! Vitalxchange has created a world where parents and providers caring for special needs children can partner to help children thrive.
