Special Needs If you are the parent of a disabled "child", even if that "child" is 50 years old, this area will be of great interest to you.  As you probably already know, any assets that are left directly to a person who is receiving government assistance can disqualify them immediately from any and all assistance that they are receiving.  With the astronomicaly cost of care, the results can be devistating.  If you have a disabled person in your family that you are caring for or may be responsible for in the future, please seek professional help BEFORE crisis time. Failure to seek qualified professional assistance can be very expensive. If this is an area of interest to you, you should visit SpecialNeedsAnswers.com.  Cynthia is a member of that organization which specializes in providing updated special needs information to parents and caregivers of disabled individuals.  Also, watch for our new web-site, which will be ArkSpecialNeeds.com, which should be operational in a few weeks.  We will post a notice as soon as it is up. Also, as always, please feel free to contact us directly to get questions answered or to request any other Free resources which we may have available for you.
