Three weeks ago I released a VERY important episode of Forever Home for Our Kids with Disabilities, where I interviewed Eric Goll, a disability life-planning expert, who has helped over 1,000 families create meaningful, independent futures for their loved ones.
Who else can relate to the following?
As parents and caregivers of individuals with disabilities, we often spend years focused on immediate needs—medical appointments, therapies, education, and daily support.
But an important question remains:
What happens when we can no longer provide that support ourselves?
It's one of the hardest questions parents face—and one that many put off because life is already so full.
Eric shared his helpful 8-Step Life Planning Process, which allows families to move from crisis-based thinking to intentional future planning.
Some key insights from our conversation:
• Independence is not all-or-nothing; it's about growing capability.
• Meaningful relationships are essential for long-term quality of life.
• Support circles can help create sustainable futures.
• Housing is only one piece of a much larger life plan.
• Small, consistent actions create significant change over time.
Future planning can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to happen all at once. A meaningful future is built one step, one conversation, and one intentional decision at a time.
