Transition Fair Has Excellent Resources

There are many excellent resources for families and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities that are attending the Central Kentucky Transition Fair today.  At the fair, we learned of Life Plan of Kentucky.  Life Plan is a local nonprofit that can serve as a trustee for first or third part trusts.  If you are still seeking information and clarity regarding special needs trusts, we find these resources to be helpful:
