Panelists
Graeme is the parent of three children, the youngest of whom has multiple complex disability-related challenges. In 1997, he decided to give up his accounting career and founded The Special Needs Planning Group, after realizing the lack of available resources for planning his daughter’s lifelong care. The group focuses on sharing information about Henson Trusts, RDSPs and acquiring government benefits to provide a full and respectful lifestyle for people living with disabilities. Graeme has now retired and is pleased to have passed the Special Needs Planning Group on to the capable hands of Ken and Ryan White where he continues to act as a Consultant.
Ken has been a professional wealth management advisor since 1992, helping clients grow, manage and protect their assets. Over the last several years, he has made it his mission to become the ” RDSP GUY” and share this information with as many individuals and organizations as he can so that qualifying people with disabilities can have money put aside for their future. Ken has also recently taken on the leadership of the Special Needs Planning Group alongside Ryan White, as Graeme Treeby transitions into retirement.
