"The LIFE Planning Starter System met and exceeded my expectations. It is very clear, straightforward and succinct, just the way it should be...thank you." Karen Simmons, CEO Autism Today, Internationally Acclaimed Author, and Mom
"I have always heard that “knowledge is power”… as a parent of a child with special needs, I quickly discovered how little knowledge and power I had when facing the mystery of disabilities. In the short time I spent with Ryan Platt, I was overwhelmed at how much I learned about being a true advocate for my child. Ryan’s insights on how to navigate the legal and regulatory issues for my family were not only important, but absolutely invaluable. I felt the value of the knowledge I received from his speaking at a parent seminar exceeded what I learned by paying an attorney hundreds of dollars. Every family needs an advisor with Ryan’s knowledge and experience." W. Christopher Chesson ,CPA, Partner, Rives & Associates, LLP and former President of The Arc of Davidson County
"Ryan Platt came and spoke to our Autism Support Group. His presentation was very informative, and well presented. The families had many questions and commented that they were not aware of all of the planning that needs to take place when looking at the future for their child with special needs. Many of the families had put off making difficult decisions because of the unpleasantness of the subject. They left motivated and ready to look at who and how their child would be cared for if something happened to them. The most impressive part of the presentation was the passion and compassion that was evident in Ryan. He presented the information with handouts that the families could use to guide their choices. He gave them his card and let them know of how he could help without any pressure. Any parent of a child with a special need should consider taking a workshop or talking with Ryan about developing a special needs plan for their child."
Norma Honeycutt, Executive Director of Partners in Learning
"This is the best $100 I have ever spent. Every family that has a child with special needs should own one of these [LIFE Planning Starter] systems." Curt Linderman, Host of #1 Autism Radio Show and Father of a child with Autism
"and what a night. I truly enjoyed the topic this evening, and Ryan did a superb job....and the fact that I was ready to cry on many occasions demonstrates how moved I was with his presentation. He touched “HOME”....almost as if he knew what I was going through....and to have someone who does not have a special needs child of their own...present this topic with such passion and devotion, gave me hope in humanity....hope in the “OTHERS”....I like to call them....the ones who don’t know what we face every day." Marie Philippe, Mom
“The presentation was wonderful. It is evident that you are passionate about helping families. What a wonderful service you provide and what a blessing you all are to these families!” Jeni Cooper, Mom
"In 2009, the Down Syndrome Association of Charlotte asked Ryan Platt to come speak to our group about financial planning for families of children with special needs. Ryan’s presentation was professional and friendly, inviting questions and comments from the attendees. Our group received a great overview of the information they needed and while it was made clear what services could be provided, the presentation never felt at all like a “sales pitch”. It is always so refreshing to meet people like Ryan who have the best interests at heart of the people who love and care for individuals with special needs." Kathryn Lariviere, Parent and Board Member, Down Syndrome Association of Charlotte
"I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Platt last month and I have to say I was really impressed with his knowledge about the issues involved with long-range planning for a special needs child, e.g. financial, guardianship, government benefits, etc. I am excited about this workshop." Barbara Parish - Director of Philips Academy
