Special needs planning can be overwhelming. Where do you start, what do all these words mean, and do you need an attorney? This program, facilitated by an experienced special needs planning and guardianship attorney, is designed to break down the commonly used tools of special needs planning into understandable segments. Participants should walk away with an idea of what tools may apply to their situation and a concrete idea of possible next steps in their process.
