How can families of children with disabilities plan for lasting
financial security at every stage of life? Find clear answers in
The Special Needs Planning Guide, a step-by-step companion for
parents as they progress through the complexities of planning for
the future of their family and their child. Written by two
financial planning experts who are also a parent and a sibling of a
person with disabilities, and including contributions from a
nationally recognized advocate, this bestselling how-to guide is
now in its second edition. Revised, reorganized, and carefully
updated to reflect current law, this book gives families the
real-world advice, strategies, and actions needed to plan for both
their future and the well-being and security of their child. With
clarity and compassion, the authors guide families in addressing
five critical factors involved in special needs planning- family
and support, emotional, financial, legal, and government benefits
factors-at every stage of their child's life, from birth through
adulthood. Throughout the book, readers will learn from the stories
and advice of other caregivers, get helpful planning pointers and
key questions to answer, and take action with the chapter lists of
