Documentation is very important . Keep all your receipts. If the individual is living at home, and you are providing room and board then come up with some type of agreement, on paper, what you are charging,(you are entitled to fair market value). Every year the individual will have a continued disability review (CDR) to see if the services are still needed. If you are given the choice between telephone interview and face to face interview always take the face to face interview. The individual collecting SSI and APA can not have more than $2,000.00 in a savings/checking account, or you will have to do a spend down.

Extractions: A child thrives on a parentâs attention so it's critical that you be involved with their education. Help encourage and develop their creativity and talents. Cultivate, inspire and develop their skills. Emphasize the importance of all matters relating to education, even when that may include asking them not to take the easy way out. Encourage the Challenging Courses Did you know that according to the National Center for Education Statistics, in fall of 2000 more than one quarter of entering freshman enrolled in one or more remedial reading, writing or mathematics courses? Although our children begin studying these subject areas in elementary school, as they get older, they donât automatically challenge themselves to learn beyond the basic level. Often, students who can excel in school will opt for the easier courses so they can be with their friends or avoid being labeled a âbrain.â Talk with your children and help them to push themselves to learn as much as they can. They should be taking the most advanced classes they can handle academically.Â
Extractions: Teachers can use the Museum's exhibits and Hands-on Collection to make their lessons come alive. We offer three types of tours during the school year.
