Our team has created a new toolkit for Autistic individuals and their families who are approaching – or already in – their sixties and above. This toolkit talks about challenges of and strategies for aging. It covers financial benefits that may be available from the Canadian government, the Alberta government, and what may need to be considered if there is a spouse. We’ve created a funding table that breaks down the types of financial assistance each government program provides for qualifying older adults and outlined some basic considerations for housing. Last, but not least, we’ve gathered resources from around the internet that touch on different aspects of aging along with organizations in the largest cities in Alberta.
If you or a loved one is moving into this new phase of life, we hope that the information in this toolkit can help!
