Financial Planning : The Need
Parents of a disabled child are concerned about being able to provide life-long security and dignity to their child. In most cases, they are faced with two basic facts: one, their child is may not be able to undertake a salary or wage earning activity, or manage investments and properly utilize the income and second, funds are required for the rehabilitation and life long caring services.
So, parents need to know the options available to them for securing a better and safer future for their child so that they can evolve strategies according to his needs.
