Guest speaker: Amy Patterson serves on the Governing Board of Washington State's Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) program. Amy will discuss the ABLE program, the rollout in Washington State, and what it means for families. The State's ABLE program was achieved during the 2016 legislative session following passage of the Federal ABLE Act in 2014.
In 2014 the U.S. Congress approved and then-President Obama signed the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act. It set out a way for states to help disabled individuals maintain their financial eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and other key federal benefits - while also setting aside in tax-sheltered accounts up to $14,000 per year of their personal funds for education, job training, assistive technology, transportation, and more.
Child Care: We are pleased to offer complimentary child care for our meeting attendees. If you would like to sign up for this service, please email smcenroe@lwsd.org. Include your child's name(s) and age(s) at least three days prior to the meeting date. We ask that the email subject line be: "Child Care at PTSA /meeting".

Thanks,
