You worry about your children’s future, even more so with a child with special needs. Having a Microboard gives the parent some relief that their child’s well being will be taken care of, with the decisions of the Microboard, which is made up of family and friends. In our specific case we have two daughters and once we are gone, all the decisions are made with a group and will be easier for her. - Henry, Parent |
