Education Advocacy:
Is your child struggling with speaking, walking, reading, writing, studying/focusing or behavior? We can help you advocate for your child and navigate the school process. Do you have the feeling that the school is not doing enough for your child but you are not sure what is lacking? We can help you ensure that your child gets the services she needs to learn and reach her full potential.
Guardianship:
Do you worry about what to do when your child turns 18? Are you nervous about setting up a guardianship? Did you know that New Jersey has a limited guardianship option which provides the best of both worlds in terms of independence and protection? We will guide you and answer your questions so you can decide what is best for your child.
Estate Planning and Special Needs Trusts:
Have you spoken to someone to ensure your child’s eligibility for the services he will need as an adult? Often, well-meaning parents and relatives can actually hurt their children by leaving them funds, disqualifying them from government benefits and services. If your child has assets of his/her own, there are ways to protect them too. It is essential that this type of estate planning is done by a special needs lawyer who understands the challenges faced by families with special needs children.
