About this Webinar

What You’ll Leave With

Clarity, reassurance, & practical next steps.

If you're a parent, sibling, or Substitute Decision Maker (SDM) of an adult with a developmental disability or neurodiversity, you already know the weight of thinking about the future. What happens when you're no longer the one supporting the day-to-day? Who will know your loved one the way you do?

This evening brings together expert guidance on disability estate planning and a first look at Highview Lucan: an intergenerational home where people are supported to live with independence, connection, and purpose in daily life. Come curious. There’s no pressure and nothing to decide.
