Transition to adulthood topics:

Planning and advocacy

Planning throughout your child's school years helps you set expectations for your child's vision of a good life — especially as your child transitions out of school and into adulthood. Advocacy opportunities are critical at this stage, too.

Self-advocacy

Financial security

  • The new Minnesota ABLE Plan helps people with disabilities save while preserving their SSI and Medicaid.
  • The Arc Minnesota's master pooled trust helps provide financial security for people with disabilities without affecting eligibility for means-tested benefits.

Financial literacy
