Phillip Clark
I am the founder and CEO of ENABLE Special Needs Planning. We help families across the country plan for an abundant life for their loved one with special needs. My unique view of what special needs planning should be comes from the impact that my younger sister, who has Down syndrome, has had on my life. I believe that Special Needs Planning should be focused on allowing our loved ones to live a fulfilling, purposeful, and impactful life…today and every day in the future.
I can speak to the internal struggle of what society tells us to do vs what we actually want/need/are capable of doing from two aspects.
1.\tFor the first part of my career, I was told by my industry and the firms I was associated with that Special Needs Planning was only helping families answer the question of ‘What happens when the parents pass away?’ I knew that families, much like my own, needed so much more. I broke away from industry norms and now help families plan from an abundant mindset for a great life for their loved one TODAY and every day in the future.
2.\tI believe that EVERYONE, including individuals with special needs, has the ability to impact the lives of others, which is what gives us all a sense of purpose to this life. I help families think beyond the limitations of what they have been for their child’s future. When a family can move from a mindset of limitations to a mindset of abundance, so many opportunities open up for their loved one. How we define success is based on whether our loved ones feel happy and fulfilled with their life. Success shouldn’t be centered on societies opinion of ‘success’.
