Every parent wants what is best for their child. When it comes to parents of children with special needs, there are things parents need to consider with respect to their care when their child turns 18 and becomes a legal adult. In my latest blog article, my first in a two part series, I discuss the topic of guardianships for families of children with special needs. https://www.edelmanwealthmanagement.com//is-guardianship-t

I spent the early part of Mother's Day doing two things I am passionate about, running and supporting individuals with special needs. Sunday was the Rubin Run and what a fantastic event they put on, I'd suggest looking into one of their races next year or at least making a donation. It was a bit wet, I was covered in mud, slipped and fell crossing a foot bridge and I may have gotten lost to the tune of an extra 1.8 miles. All worth if for the special needs community!

Being a parent of a child with special needs comes with additional obligations unique to each child.
