WHAT WE UNDERSTAND

​

Caring for a neurodivergent loved one often means being the budget planner, long-term strategist, and emotional support—all at once. We understand how complex, overwhelming, and isolating that can feel. Here's how we’re here to support you:

 

💰 Budgeting for Everyday Support Needs

​

From therapy sessions to transportation costs, adaptive supplies to extra groceries—daily care expenses can add up quickly. And they’re often unpredictable. We help you create a flexible, needs-based budget that adjusts to real life, not just the numbers.

You’ll get tools to:

• Track recurring care costs

• Plan for school, therapy, or respite care

• Handle fluctuating income or government support

• Prioritise needs without burnout​

 

🧭 Navigating Financial Assistance and Support Programs

​

Applying for financial aid, grants, or government benefits can be exhausting. The paperwork, the jargon, the waiting—it’s enough to make anyone give up.

We break things down clearly, so you understand:

• What support programs you may qualify for

• How to apply, step by step

• What questions to ask caseworkers or agencies

• Where to go for additional help

No legal speak. Just clear guidance, from people who’ve been there too.

​

🏡 Saving for Long-Term Care or Housing

​

It’s tough to think about the future when the present is already so full—but we know how important it is. Whether you’re saving for supported housing, a future caregiver, or independent living goals for your loved one, we guide you through:

• Setting realistic savings goals

• Creating a care-specific savings plan

• Understanding how government assistance interacts with private savings

• Exploring ABLE accounts, trusts, or guardianship options

You’ll have access to starter templates and financial frameworks that grow with your situation.

 

⏳ Planning for a Time When You May No Longer Be There

​

This is the hardest part—but also the most important. Thinking about your loved one’s future after you're gone is emotional, but having a plan in place provides peace of mind.

We’ll walk you through:

• Starting your plan gently, without overwhelm

• Legal and financial tools (e.g. special needs trusts)

• Building a care team or support network

• Leaving instructions and financial arrangements that ensure your loved one’s wellbeing

 

We approach this topic with empathy, patience, and support—not pressure.
