Welcome back to our newly redesigned and rededicated website and special needs planning blog!  It’s still under construction so please check back frequently for new blog posts and lots of new features like an active and current blogroll, a useful search feature, the ability to add this blog to your favorite RSS reader, and whatever other cool toys I come across in the WordPress toybox.  And please, leave comments and suggestions! Tell me what other blogs or websites on special needs you read! Your feedback is more than welcome.  It’s essential.

Diedre Wachbrit Braverman

A few days ago, I represented The Academy of Special Needs Planners, of which I am one of three co-founders, in answering reader questions from one mother’s blog.  This very busy mom writes about raising her child with special needs including the legal aspects, like special needs planning.  When she offered to do legal Q&A, the floodgates opened!  You can read all of her readers’ questions and my answers on Ellen’s blog: To The Max: Take That, Cerebral Palsy! You can also read her original blog post that started all the questions.

Special Offer! For those of our clients who have special needs trusts and who are in Client Care 2009 (either you signed your trust in the last twelve months or you paid for Client Care this year), please call Linda, and we will be delighted to send you your own signed copy of the book All the Bunnies, which includes Diedre’s story about her and her brother, Nathan, who has Autism. (If you want a particular inscription in the book, please let Linda know.)
