When it comes to thinking about the future for your child with Down syndrome, we know that even hearing the words “special needs trust” can be stressful! How do you even begin to save enough money? What will happen to your son or daughter if something happens to you? What is expected of their siblings? So much to unpack here. That’s why we’re thankful to have Phillip Clark on the show once again to walk us through his planning strategies that actually work! For your WHOLE family! As a brother to his sister with Down syndrome, Phillip remembers the stress of these tough conversations from a young age, and now he’s determined to give families access to an abundant life for their loved one with Down syndrome. And today he’s giving us the first steps and all his best tips! Plus we’re chatting about the difference between an ABLE account and Special Needs Trust, the best time to start planning, and how Phillip has helped our own families plan for the future of our kiddos. Don’t miss this one! And be sure to check out Enable Special Needs Planning to get started. You won’t regret it!
