The authors, both active in national parent and advocacy gorups, present financial planning information in chronological format. Besides financial support, the book looks into the emotional, family, legal and health aspects of planning, and incorporates valuable resources and practical solutions.

"Planning for the legal and financial needs of even a 'normal' family can be overwhelming, but add a child with special needs to the equation and the degree of difficulty soars. Authors Nadworny and Haddad have family members with disabilities, so they know the problems firsthand -- and try to guide you gently away from them in a calm, compassionate, and only mildly panic-inducing guide."
