The Future Is Now

The Future is Now is a multi-part series designed to help caregivers and their family members with a disability make plans for the future. Throughout the series, families create a Letter of Intent -- a non-legal document that captures desires and goals for the future. Creating a Letter of Intent helps families gain the peace of mind that comes with having a plan.

Each session offers an opportunity to learn about:

  • Hopes, dreams and worries for the future
  • Future living arrangements
  • Expanding personal networks
  • Supports for older caregivers
  • Maximizing public benefits
  • Who holds the story

Who should attend?

Those looking to start planning for the future of a family member with a disability.

All members of the family are encouraged to attend, including caregivers, the family member with a disability, siblings, close family friends and especially those who are aging.

How will it work?

Sessions will be hosted by facilitators from the Miami County Board of Developmental Disabilities (MCBDD). Family members will have a chance to ask questions, gather resources and interact with one another.
