Do you ever feel perplexed or overwhelmed when searching for information or services for your loved on with a Developmental Disability? Have you just moved here from another State and are unfamiliar with Georgia’s funding opportunities? Are you wondering when to apply for Supplemental Security Income or a Medicaid waiver? Do you wonder what you have to do to have your child be eligible for funding and services?

Janet Smola and Ginny Duhon will provide an overview of funding and services here in Georgia and will answer any general questions you have about Medicaid waivers, Supplemental Security Income, Guardianship and Special Needs Trusts. This is intended to be an “overview” of these subjects so this meeting will be great for parents just getting acquainted with the complicated world of advocating for your child or for folks who have questions about advancing services for their child.

Our meeting will begin at 7:00pm. This meeting will be important for parents of children with disabilities of all ages. This is also an important meeting for grandparents raising grandchildren with disabilities.  Our meeting will NOTbe held at our office location. This will be a meeting held via Zoom.
