ABCs of Disability Planning

  • Summary

  • Frequently families like mine don't know what's available to help us, we're too focused on getting through our day-to-day. But even if we had time, we would need to know what to look for. It's my mission to introduce a new organization or individual serving those with disabilities every week. All views and opinions represented are my own. I am not writing on behalf of Capital Motion or Visible National Trust. Neither Capital Motion nor Visible National Trust endorse or in any other way support this content and podcast. This podcast is wholly owned and operated by me, Eric Jorgensen.

  • Neurodiversity-affirming support by Autistics, for Autistics
    Jan 20 2025

    Doug Blecher founded Autism Personal Coach in 2013 in response to the near-total lack of real-life support for Autistic adults.

    In 2022, Doug officially confirmed his suspicions about his neurotype. APC is now happy to confirm they are fully Autistic-led (and have been all along)!

    All of their autism life coaches are either Autistic or chosen by Autistics. We choose them based on their commitment to trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming strategies. Their Coaches deeply understand burnout, sensory needs, and the importance of special interests. They empower our clients to take the lead, determine their goals, and choose their paths.

    They know that lived experience makes Autistic people the real experts on autism. They're here to help make their goals a reality!

  • Education, Expertise, and Empathy on your Medicaid Journey
    Jan 6 2025

    ECR Planning offers professional support to families needing to access long-term care Medicaid benefits in their loved one’s state. Step 1

    Meet with one of ECR's expert Benefits Advisors to determine eligibility and decide if it makes sense for your family to hire a Medicaid planner. If working with them is the right fit, you will move on to the application process. During this call, you may decide that a Benefits Consultation is more appropriate for your situation.

    Step 2

    You fill out a comprehensive intake questionnaire and discuss the answers with your Medicaid Specialist. You will have time to ask questions and clarify anything that doesn’t make sense. ECR's team then pulls together the necessary financial information to submit your completed application.

    Step 3

    ECR's team of experts and Certified Medicaid Planners™ are with you the entire time. If there is a need for other documentation as the state reviews your loved one’s application, they help you take care of that. They work with tenacity and compassion to advocate for your family until benefits are in place.
