Your time is limited! Today’s families juggle jobs, children and often, elderly parents. Caring for a child with a disability is especially time-consuming and stressful. We created Exceptional Lives so that exceptional families can find answers 24 hours a day to some of their most difficult challenges. Our first free online Guides focus on the following topics:
-
How to create an effective IEP
-
How to access SSI
-
How to navigate guardianship
We’ve worked hard to make our Guides as complete as possible. But we realize these topics are complex, and that parents sometimes need some extra help. If you have a question or concern, please reach out to one of our team members.Meet team member Hillary Dolinsky. Hillary has a master’s degree in social work. She joined Exceptional Lives in order to help make your life easier.Growing up with a sister with a disability helped Hillary realize how important it is for parents and caregivers to have quick, easy access to resources. This experience inspired Hillary to enter social work, where she’s focused on programs and policies that impact the lives of children and adults with disabilities.If you get stuck at any point when using one of our Guides, Hillary is only a call or an email away.The same is true of Dylan Randall.
