“Ideas and concept are fantastic”

 – Lucy, Parent

“WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!  BRILLIANTLY written. Thought provoking. Challenging. Profound. So easy to read and left wanting more!”

 – Camilla, OT

“I had been concerned that it might be full of jargon I wouldn’t understand, but I quickly realised this wasn’t the case and that it would be understandable and therefore useful”

– Lynne, Parent

“The book is written by someone living day to day (and sometimes hour to hour) with a child with additional needs, instead of an “expert” who has read all the research but has no idea what it’s actually like to have this as your life.“

– Lynne, Parent

“… a real “Wake up Call” and a great eye opener to next steps for parents and young adults navigating the future world on offer. It gives direction and support to those not knowing which way to go”

 – Scarlett, Parent

“Allows anyone at any stage to believe they can do it.“

– Tracy, Parent

About the Author

Graham Caldow

Graham Caldow is the father of daughter with additional needs and so has personal experience of the issues faced by parents and guardians and the fears they often have about their child’s future. He understands how the journey can be tough, frustrating, and lonely. He knows it’s sometimes hard to imagine a future, where they are secure, have self-dignity, have purpose to their lives and have a community around them.

From his own experiences he realised his daughter needed a life plan so that there was clarity on what his daughter wanted both now and in the future. This made it easier to identify options and choose the ones that would enable her to live the life she wanted. Through having this life plan, his daughter has now finished full-time education and has moved to a paid part time job. She is actively managing her own life and finding her own community as well as building the skills she needs to control her day-to-day life.

Graham wants to share the approach he had used with his daughter to support other parents and guardians on their journeys so they can answer that question What happens when I’m no longer around?

He believes the legacy we leave our children isn’t just the money we leave them, it’s the skills and self-belief that they can live the lives they want on their terms. Our greatest legacy is to help prepare them for that future.
