Vacations and Products for special needs populations
Author: SpendDown | Posted: 19.04.2012Many persons who receive SSI from the government are limited in the resources they can have. Because of this, individuals with developmental disabilities, mental retardation, mental illness and a host of other physical and mental disabilities have been limited in whom they travel with and how they spend their money: until now. SpendDown.com provides a convenient handy platform for persons with disabilities and their care providers to spend down online, safely and easily in the comfort of their own home.
With SpendDown, members can purchase Points on our website. Points are non-refundable and non-transferable. You cannot sell Points on the open market (there is no cash value). This allows persons with disabilities a platform to spend down and purchase Points that don’t expire. You can redeem Points in the comfort of your own home for travel in our full service travel agency, designed for individuals with special needs and developmental disabilities. We can provide an all-inclusive vacation for your group home, a couple, or individual. You provide the free staffing and SpendDown books the airfare, hotel, attractions and more.
Additionally, SpendDown offers an online store with millions of items. Consider SpendDown the Amazon of the disability world: featuring products from around the country, shipped directly to your door. All of our prices include shipping. Finally, when a case manager, group home manager or direct care staff member needs to assist a client in spending down, they can simply log on to their SpendDown account and shop for items like stereos, dvd players, furniture, electronics, clothing, house wares and more. No cumbersome trips across town in a specialized van, taking staff persons away from the needs of other clients. No walking through the mall with behavioral or medically frail clients. Finally individuals without credit or debit card can shop in the comfort of their home with the assistance of a staff person.
SpendDown offers a convenient, easy to use platform which allows persons who support individuals with disabilities a website to consolidate their spend down activities. SSI Spend Downs are a breeze as you purchase Points with a check, mailed to our office, or use an electronic/ACH bank transfer to purchase Points easily in the comfort of your home. Our interface allows staff to help their clients in selecting products. Additionally, we offer amazing travel packages – from weekend getaways to the coast, a limo on the town or a trip of a lifetime to international destinations like Rome, Paris or Egypt.
