SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN NEED UNIQUE LONG-TERM PLANNING. SOCIAL SECURITY AND DISABILITY BENEFITS WILL NOT COVER ALL OF LIFE'S BASIC NEEDS.
Many families don't realize that social security disability benefits are minimal and may help cover the costs of care but is rarely enough to provide care at your child's current standard of living, let alone the quality of life.

Luckily, therapy like that provided by Springboard™ Therapy can change lives -- enabling a once-difficult child to function better in daily activities and relationships. It's truly life-changing to witness such a transformation.
While this is amazing progress, it's often still necessary for families to consider plans to provide future financial support for a child with special needs. Financial support that remains in place, for the sole benefit of the child throughout their whole life, after other family members have passed.
It's never easy. But it's important, and I'm grateful to be in a position to help.
✔ Permanent life insurance is is great protection for special needs children. However just purchasing a policy without integrating a full plan, could endanger your child's ability to receive additional financial support.
✔ A special needs trust can help protect your child’s eligibility for other assistance.
✔ Special needs trusts can also be designed to include specific instructions you may wish to include for your child’s care.
✔ An estate attorney and licensed life insurance expert can work with you to establish a special needs trust with the right amount of funding to ensure your child's continual care and comfort.
By establishing a strong permanent life insurance policy on themselves for the benefit of their special-needs child(ren), parents can ensure that the quality of their child's life can be sustained.
