Planning the Future Series with James Traylor – Session 2: Special Needs Trusts
Planning for the future is one of the most important steps families can take to protect the long-term well-being of a loved one with a disability. Special Needs Trusts (SNTs) help ensure that individuals can maintain eligibility for important public benefits while still having access to additional resources that improve quality of life—such as housing options, staffing supports, services, activities, and personal needs. This session will help parents, caregivers, and professionals understand how SNTs work and how they can create financial security and choice for the future.
