Inclusion benefits all students

There was a great story in the Lethbridge Herald on Feb 9, 2008 about inclusion for students with disabilities that focused on the Fowler family and Payton's experiences with inclusion at General Stewart Elementary School.  Check it out.

Thanks to Dean Fowler of Meyers Norris Penny and to Darth Bluekens of National Bank Financial for giving a small group of families an overview of the potential for the new RDSPs.

Stay tuned here for updates.  Financial institutions still need to create RDSP investment products and the Province of Alberta needs to make some adjustments to provinical rules regarding AISH before everyone can take advantage of this opportunity.

Stay tuned for more information.  Let us know if you hear any news.

Saving for the future
posted by Lori Litke on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2009   |     0   Comments
 
I have recently looked at what investing in the RDSP would do for my son. When I first received news of his diagnosis I wasn't sure what to expect. I certainly didn't beleive that one day my son, so significantly affected by disability, would be wealthy. Thanks to the RDSP, I can now imagine a life for my son that includes all the beenfits of having some wealth. He will have greater security, more choices, more freedom. And I no longer have to be concerned about how to maximize my support for him fiancially while manouvering the AISH System. The RDSP and fiancial security are only one elelment of insuring a good life more child. There is still work to be done around looking at his home, realtionships, job opprotunities, but I am excited and grateful to be looking to the future at time when we have such innovative opprotunities avaliable to secure a "good life" for our children.
