This event is for families raising a child who has special needs. You will learn the fundamentals of estate planning and establishing a special needs trust for your child’s future. You will also learn about important coming-of-age issues to consider when your child becomes a legal adult at age 18 and transitions out of special education at age 22.
Professionals who work with children and young adults with special needs are also welcome to attend.
