Create a Firm Financial Foundation Together

Were you told that welfare makes people lazy? I was. It was part of the thinking that I was raised with. Today I've changed that thinking.

I used to be reluctant to apply for benefits for my kids. And I almost missed a window of opportunity to get them the support that they need to support their independence.

Now I believe that the welfare programs, the ones that were created by wise people before our time, really help our autistic graduates work. They provide the support they need to to live well, which increases the amount of energy they have available to invest in their job, which then makes them better, more productive workers.

The intention of these welfare benefits is to help compensate for the burdens of having a disability. It's a small way to level the playing field for our kids, to help them with their food, their health care and their home situation. And they help.

But I found it very difficult to find information about all the available US benefits in one place. So I interviewed James Traylor, brother of an alternative learner and Chartered Special Needs Consultant. And I hired him. Here's how to maximize the government benefits that support our autistic graduates' independence.
