Help in writing a letter of intent for your child's future without you

Tuesday December 6, 2005
What will happen to your special-needs child after you're gone? You may have made some arrangements for financial security and loving caretakers, but what happens to the tips and strategies for keeping him safe and happy that you carry around in your head and your heart? In order to guide you in thinking of all those things, from medical strategies to behavior management, that the people who care for your child will need to know, the Bridges4Kids site is offering a free download of an 88-item checklist for writing a letter of intent, excerpted from the book "Planning for the Future: Providing a Meaningful Life for a Child with a Disability After Your Death" by Mark L. Russell and Arnold E. Grant. It's nothing any of us really wants to think about, but getting it all down can help you cross one worry off your list.
