About
Unique Person Centered Planning Process
At Good Beacon Special Needs Planning, we start by helping you and your child define their future. Considering interests, passions and strengths, we turn them into vocation, living and community involvement goals. Within this vision, we work with you to maximize supports, government benefits and your assets to find the path to a secure future. Our process utilizes proven special needs planning tools including Path, Maps, and PCAST.
Building Strong Futures
Our planning philosophy starts with your child's strengths and defining the skills and milestones needed to be successful in the community. We then look to maximize government benefits to provide the needed supports. Finally, we look to free up your assets to better support protections against life's events for yourself and your child.
About
Don Atkinson BS, ChSNC®.
Founder and CEO
As my son got older and closer to leaving the school system, I realized while we knew what he liked to do and was capable of, we had no idea how to go about securing his future. After extensive research, I found that there was no place I could go to get all the answers we needed, so I decided to start Good Beacon to help myself and other families facing the same problems.
I am certified as a Chartered Special Needs Consultant from the American College, Bryn Mar, PA. My other experience includes 30+ years as a pharmaceutical executive/entrepreneur including financial management.
