Beyond a Parent's Love: Lessons Learned in Life-Planning for Special Needs Children

New Book Provides Life Planning with Financial & Legal Guidance for Special-Needs Families

Planning for the financial future of families of children with disability is challenging. In addition to raising their child/children, their life care planning has to be addressed in addition to their own retirement planning. One entrepreneurial wealth advisor has dedicated the last three decades of her practice to helping families of special needs children. She has just released a book that assists them through the emotional, legal, and financial pitfalls. Her book Beyond a Parent's Love: Lessons Learned in Life Planning for Special Needs Children, is a collection of human interest stories of several families describing their challenges, struggles and triumphs of raising a child or children with disability. While it describes planning strategies for the future of a person with special needs, it also focuses on the family dynamics, parent’s acceptance of their child’s disability and concerns about caring for the child after the parents are gone. These are true stories and each one of them provides insights and lessons that can be learned.
