Hahn Loeser Partner Nancy Spain has collaborated with the La Grange Area Department of Special Education for over 25 years to help parents navigate the world of disabilities law. Nancy presented “Planning Ahead: Future Finances and Supports,” as part of LADSE’s Next Steps program, a transition series developed in partnership with the Illinois Division of Rehabilitation Services and Virginia Commonwealth University to assist parents and families in preparing students for the change from life as a student in school to life as a citizen of the community.
Participants learned how to set up finances to protect and provide for a family member with disabilities. Nancy discussed public benefits, Social Security support, Guardianship, and how to plan effectively. Materials included information on writing a Letter of Intent and coordinating supports.
