Today we are talking about something that’s hard for a lot of people: Thinking about the future. We don’t know what to expect – and frankly, the unknown can be a little scary – especially if you are a person with a disability or a family member who relies on supports to build and live a good life.
In this episode we meet Liz Mahar who is sharing a wake up call across the country about future planning. She says it's not only possible but – it is necessary.
Liz is the Director of Family and Sibling Initiatives at The Arc of the United States and she is a leader within the Center for Future Planning. However, her greatest experience might come as sister to Crystal, who has Down syndrome.
