Introducing The Money Issue!

It is becoming more and more difficult for families of all types to make ends meet on a day-to-day basis, let alone build long-term wealth. And as in many other areas, disability adds a further layer of pressure and complexity.

In this edition of 3.21, we equip you to make wise financial decisions in both the short and long term. 

• A money math and budgeting instructor provides strategies for helping people with Down syndrome develop their money management skills
• Self-advocates let us in on how they make their spending decisions
• Financial professionals answer some of the most asked questions in the disability community
• A sibling caregiver shares her experience of taking over the responsibilities of financial planning with her brother
• We clearly guide you through the financial supports available for disabled citizens, including the Disability Tax Credit, RDSP, and the forthcoming Canada Disability Benefit, and the advantages and disadvantages you should know to make the right decision.

3.21 Magazine is published by CDSS and the Down Syndrome Resource Foundation.
