Previously, we covered why special needs planning is so important. Now let's take a look at the process we use.
First, we must develop a clear vision not just of your dreams and goals for your family and loved one with special needs, but also when and how you plan to achieve them.
Secondly, think holistically, by assessing your current situation and determine the feasibility of your goals. Setting priorities and then creating a integrated plan to achieve them is vital.
Third, plan with intention by creating a strategy that takes into account the financial, legal and logistical concerns that may impact your dependent's quality of life over time.
Fourth, for the plan to succeed, it has to be implemented. The sooner you get started, the better.
Finally, keep your plan current. Laws change and so do the needs of a person with disabilities. Your financial plan is a work in progress. Make sure to review and update it regularly.
As someone once said, "Love your children for who they are. Do not let their disabilities determine their fate."
