Navigating resources and programming for individuals living with Fragile X syndrome can be overwhelming. Eligibility for many available supports is based on a family’s income, assets, and resources. In 2014, due to the fierce advocacy efforts of many, including the Fragile X community, the Stephen Beck Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed. ABLE accounts are tax-advantaged savings, investment, and spending accounts for individuals with disabilities that can be established without affecting their eligibility for certain benefit programs.

During this webinar, Mark and John presented an overview of ABLE accounts, the benefits of having them, examples of qualified disability expenses, and how to find the most appropriate ABLE account provider for you. We concluded the webinar with an extensive Q & A session.
