Financial planning can be complex, but when a family has a loved one with special needs it can be even
more complicated. The special needs financial planner requires additional skills, knowledge, and
empathy to advise families that include a loved one with special needs. The special needs planner also
needs to understand the planning challenges special needs families encounter at each life stage of their
loved one. This session covers the planning strategies for parents at these life stages while planning for
the lifetime needs of their loved one with special needs. Two key questions will be addressed: 1) How
much money will be needed at the various stages of my loved one’s lifetime and 2) What risk
management strategies can be implemented to protect my special needs loved one’s financial position
while also filling in gaps in his or her funding resources.
