John Dowson Ch lp is the executive Director of LifeTRUST Planning , an organisation that has provided Special Needs Planning for families of a child with a disability since 1989. John’s insights on Special Needs Planning have been featured in major Canadian Newspapers and Financial publications. He secured the exemption of Segregated funds from the Ontario Disability Support Program, (ODSP) and was an active contributor to the Federal Department of Finance’s “New Beginnings” committee that recommended the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP). John has been instrumental in helping shape provincial and federal government policy that makes Special Needs Planning for people with disabilities possible. Hundreds of families now have peace of mind that would not have been possible without John’s efforts. As the co-trustee of a Henson trust John has personally experienced the confusion and misinterpretation that parents often face when planning for the future of their child with Special Needs. John also Conducts CE Credit seminars for Financial Advisors
