My Child at a Glance

Who Will Know Your Child the Way You Do?

You know the little things about your child that may never appear in a medical record, legal document, or care plan.

You know how they communicate when something hurts. What makes them anxious. Which routines bring comfort. Who they trust. What makes them laugh. And what can turn an ordinary day into a really good one.

But would a future guardian or caregiver know those things?

Create a Quick-Reference Guide for the People Who May Someday Care for Your Child

My Child at a Glance is a free, easy-to-use guide designed to help parents of adult children with special needs capture the essential information a future guardian, caregiver, or family member may need.

Inside, you'll have a place to record:

• Important medical information and medications

• How your child communicates

• Daily routines and support needs

• Triggers, sensory needs, and calming strategies

• Favorite people, activities, foods, and places

• Current government benefits and supports

• Guardian and Trustee information

• The little things about your child that only someone who truly knows them would understand

Because Knowing Who Will Care for Your Child Is Only Part of the Plan

Choosing a future guardian is important. But that person also needs the knowledge you've gathered over a lifetime of caring for your child.

My Child at a Glance helps you begin passing that knowledge along.
