Scott Steiner, CFP®, is a financial planner with Ehlert Financial Group, Inc. and works as an Advocate for Protected Tomorrows.
After enjoying a nine-year career in banking, he joined Prudential Financial as a financial planner in 2003, shortly after caring for a terminally ill family member. The experience made Scott realize how emotionally and financially challenging it can be to meet the needs of a loved one who requires special attention. He not only is able to empathize, but also provide hope to other families, as his passion is to assist people in planning their financial futures.
Scott’s approach with his clients is simple – to discover their dreams, to address their fears, to determine what resources are available to meet those dreams, and to prepare for the unexpected. He is there for his clients when decisions need to be made.
Damon Doucet is an associate attorney with Matlin & Associates, P.C. in Northbrook, Illinois. Damon concentrates his practice in the areas of guardianship, estate administration for disabled adults and legal issues surrounding disabled citizens’ access to public benefits. He received his BA summa cum laude from Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri and is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago School of Law. Damon is a former judicial intern at the Circuit Court of Cook County, Probate Division, and also served as a legal intern at the Cook County Office of the Public Guardian. Prior to entering law school Damon served six years in the United States Marine Corps and spent many years as a project and department manager in both long-term care facilities and hospitals.

We Are Autism 2008 wall calendar
"Brothers, Sisters and Friends"
A 12-month journey with people who have autism
Northwest Suburban Chapter 114 of the Autism Society of America is proud to
share this wall calendar with you for the second year of its publication.
It is a unique calendar, produced entirely by the families in our chapter.
This year's calendar focuses on relationships. We chose this subject due to
misconceptions about the ability of people with autism to form and sustain
relationships. As family members and friends of people with autism, we witness
every day the incredible accommodations people with autism make in order to
create strong ties to their families and friendships with their peers. You
will find on the pages of this calendar writing by people with autism and
writing by their family members and friends, all on the importance of the
relationships they have with each other. The writers range in age from small
children to adults. Each month also features at least one photo. From January
to December, we invite you to discover a true picture of the ability of our
brothers, sisters and friends with autism to reach across neurological differences
and love us, accept us and stand by us. They will inspire you to do the same.
This calendar will resonate with people who have loved ones with autism, inform
people who wish to learn about autism, and give insight to professionals in
the autism community. Order your calendar today for only $10 + shipping at
www.autismillinois.com!

Call your PASS agency and get on the PUNS Database. Secure your spot for supports and services through the Medicaid waiver in Illinois. If you are not on the database, when the time comes - your family maybe left out from receiving the needed supports we have been lobbying the legislature for.
