Planning for a special needs kid
I have a special needs kid and I am looking for ways to set them up. My kid probably can get a minimum wage job ( with training) and I could fund the remaining. The only other idea I have is to start a business/ franchise and also employ my kid. But this would require leaving my day job. Here to hear ideas from other parents in similar situations. I understand that special needs covers a broad spectrum of abilities.
Do you have other typical kids?
Yes
Set some fixed income plan for them first. Moving to LCOL area would also help . I am not sure of the details . But wish you find a good way to set it up and find some peace of mind.
Hi, interested in connecting and brain storming. We are also in the same situation with a special needs child and would like to set our child up for the future.
Dm me
Depends on how severe they are. Mental health INS. Lot of cases is a spectrum and severely difficult to ballpark solutions to as each case is truly unique and faces their own challenges by their diagnosis and the limits from it. For example if they are severely impaired, once they turn 18, usually there are government assistance programs you can place them in where you can essentially dump them off, and leave them. It's not permanent institutionalization as you can take then out if needed/wanted, and they often have caretakers. I used to work for one for folks who were low to mid functioning autistics comorbid with other conditions
How old? What special need?
In high school. Mainly intellectual disability, but different cognitive areas are affected at different ratr
Trust fund baby
Yeah...but I also want them to get some meaning out of life by having some semblance of a job/routine
Trust fund baby who does charity/pro bono work.
Damn man. How are most people not childfree is beyond me. I wish you luck!
Just wait when your mummy gets on your case to get you arranged married and take 2-3 babies out of you.
I am not in a similar situation as you children wise but I’ve been looking for some franchise opportunities as well which I could do with my spouse (who doesn’t have a job at the moment), where u could work there weekends and she could manage the weekdays in my absence. Are you open to an idea of a franchise in a partnership?
