While most family members of an individual with a disability are most concerned about their immediate needs, parents and others regularly ask the question: “How will my loved one be cared for when I am no longer able?” Dan has an adult son with Down Syndrome and has loved through most of these issues himself. As a founding partner of the Andrew-Benjamin Group, he helps families through this process on a daily basis.

Are you a guardian/conservator or expecting to be one soon? The guardianship landscape in Nebraska has changed. The reporting requirements for guardians/conservators has also changed resulting in significantly more information which must be provided to the court and other interested parties. Additionally, qualifying as a new guardian/conservator may be more difficult and may include
extensive background checks and mandatory bonds. This educational event will focus on the forms and procedures arising from the new guardianship and conservatorship laws which became effective January 1st of this year. These laws were enacted by the Nebraska legislature in response to several widely publicized cases of fraud. Please plan to attend this offering. We will have guest attorney speaking at this session.

Support Group for the siblings in our ASD families
The Omaha chapter of the Autism Society has created a group for all of the siblings out there whose lives are impacted by a brother or sister’s autism. We want to create an environment where these children can come together and have some fun. This group is not about therapy but about strengthening our community and supporting a very important group of our society.
We’d are aiming to provide events that are specifically for and about these amazing and important members of all of our families!
Date: Saturday afternoon, November 17th
Details: Applies to all age groups, but this event is specific to typical siblings. We’ll match siblings up into similar age groups.
Location: Maplewood Lanes Bowling
Time: 3 -5 P.M.
Price: $8.50 per person per game (includes shoe rental)
R.S.V.P. to Niki @ kinart@cox.net by November 14th

This group meets at Pump It Up along with our other Omaha Support Network groups (Adults with ASD, Children, and Parent Support). Please don’t worry that just because it is at Pump It Up that you’ll have to bounce! (Although you can if you want!) Pump It Up has multiple meeting rooms that we are using to host meetings for our different support groups.
The Teen Support Group starts at 6:30pm so that attendees can avoid the 6pm check time when all of the families participating in the bounce rooms arrive.
Our Teens meets in a separate room where they can have a quiet discussion, play board games, or do a craft together while building friendships.
