Parents who have supported a child with intellectual disabilities can find themselves shut out when the legal system no longer recognizes their authority, says our client, Max Shilleto, an estate planning lawyer and disability advocate in Vancouver. #cdnpoli #disability #financialliteracy

"Equity is being dismissed by some as “woke” and divisive, as though it were an ideological matter that can be disregarded rather than an issue grounded in data, lived experience and public health necessity. This is not just misguided, it is dangerous" -Suelyn Knight @diabetescanada.bsky.social
