A recent article on Stuff caught our eye – Money course for people with learning disabilities is a New Zealand first. This is interesting reading and may be of help for anyone interested in Individualised Funding.
During Money Week, 31st August to 6th September a new money course was launched in the South Island to help those with learning disabilities to learn about money – how to manage their money, the cost of debt, learning the difference between wants and needs.
