Description:
Parents of children with disabilities know that each day brings small and large victories. Parenting children with disabilities also comes with unique challenges, including increased financial responsibilities and more complex planning requirements for the future. The cost of therapies, medical procedures, equipment and caregiving — on top of wages lost as a result of caretaking duties — can be daunting. Because these children may continue to require care into adulthood, sound financial and estate planning is essential to ensure they're cared for even after you're gone.
Try not to get overwhelmed at the thought of financial planning for a child with a disability. This guide is focused on helping you plan one step at a time, learn what help is available and talk to other parents in your situation. A sound strategy can help you take concrete steps to manage your finances and gain peace of mind for your child's financial future.

How Much Does Home Modifications Cost? Added on February 14, 2024
- Category: Accessible Housing Resources
- County:
Description:
Making modifications to your home can help you live independently as a person with a disability. How extensively you would have to renovate varies widely based on a homeowner's needs and a house's age and condition. You could install a taller toilet for a few hundred dollars or spend thousands of dollars on a walk-in shower or an elevator.
The good news is a rapidly aging population means more products are available to accommodate disabilities, and a growing number of contractors, mortgage brokers and real estate agents are familiar with what's needed. But renovating a house can be expensive, and funding bigger remodeling projects can be challenging for many.
MoneyGeek put together an overview of how much common renovations cost, tips on finding help to pay for remodeling projects, information about your available mortgage options and expert advice on home modification. Those who don't want to deal with renovations or find the task is beyond their economic means can still find help to live independently through other resources such as rental assistance in homes designed for people with disabilities.

Description:
Creating an accessible home environment for children with disabilities involves more than just physical modifications — it's about fostering a space where they can easily play, learn and bond with family.
