 Our Journey to What Ought To Be

 Safe and Secure is a Future Planning Workbook designed to do three things:

1. Inspire and challenge you to begin the future planning process for your loved one with a disability.  It will help you to move past your fears and gain some faith in the future.

2. Assist you through the process of creating a Personal Future Plan.  It will help to expand your vision of the possibilities and help you create concrete terms.

3. It sheds some light on the legal, financial and technical solutions available to assist you , in addition to sharing practical tips on how to apply these solutions to your circumstances.

Our Most Valuable Resource
The families who:

• have been through it
• are planning for it
• who are in the middle of it (whatever life stage the “it” might be)

Families are the driving force for dedicated supports for people with disabilities.  LACL represents courageous families working together to create a better world for their sons and daughters with disabilities. Their efforts, our staff and our volunteers are here for you as a living, caring and extraordinarily potent resource.
