January 14, 5:30-7 p.m. (Virtual) Financial Strategies & Estate Planning Information 

• The Special Services Department is hosting a presentation for parents of students with disabilities on the topic of Financial Strategies and Estate Planning.  Our presenter are Sheldon Sweeny, from Snider Financial Group and Jerimy Kirschner Managing Partner of Jerimy Kirschner & Associates PLLC.  There are three Phases of Family Life, based on age, for a child with special needs: Pre-Guardianship, Post-Guardianship, and Independent Living. Each phase has its own unique financial challenges. However, with proper planning, parents/guardians can hopefully find peace, knowing that their child’s financial well-being is protected throughout their life span as well as in the event of an unforeseen life change. We will discuss the resources available to you and have an open conversation where you can ask questions and/or share life experiences.
