Who this is for
Most guides focus on diagnosis. This one focuses on what comes next: building a real life. Whether your child is 5 or 20, it's not too late to start building intentionally.
Parents who just received a diagnosis and don't know where to start
Parents stuck in IEP meetings and therapy — missing the bigger picture
Parents of teenagers panicking about what happens after high school
Parents who want a framework, not just a list of resources
Parents who feel like they are the only thing standing between their child and a dependent adulthood
Parents who know their child is capable of more — and want a plan to get there
The framework
The Independence by Design framework organizes everything families need to work on into four parallel tracks — from age 5 through adulthood.
What's inside
The Independence Roadmap covers four tracks at every life stage — so you always know what to work on, and what to plan for next.
Hygiene, chores, cooking, time management — the skills your child needs to function independently, built year by year.
IEPs, 504 Plans, transition planning, self-advocacy — how to navigate school and transfer responsibility over time.
ABLE Accounts, SSI, Special Needs Trusts, Medicaid Waivers — what to do, when to do it, and why it can't wait.
Employment, housing, transportation, community — building a real adult life that belongs to your child, not you.
Stage-by-stage guidance from Early Intervention through postsecondary, including your legal rights at each step.
Curated, categorized resources — ADHD, autism, disability, financial planning, benefits, and transition support.
