Everything Special Needs Families Must Know About Trusts, Guardianship & UDID | Ep 4

Happy to launch a new series called The Expert Speaks under The Special Needs Children Podcast with Chitra Iyer. In this series, Chitra will be in conversation with various experts who closely work with Special Needs children and their families. These experts could be doctors, therapists, legal professionals, vocational trainers or even family members who have successfully secured the future for a loved one. The aim is to bring their knowledge and vast experience to you so that you can find the solutions and guidance you need to live a happier life.

In this episode, we have with us Shreya Jain, a sibling and guardian to her Special Needs brother. She is also the CEO & Founder of Reservoir, a place where Special Needs Families can find various kinds of services under one roof.

Listen to this insightful conversation where Chitra and Shreya discuss the various legal documents required and actions that you need to take to protect your child legally and financially, even when you are no longer around.

For some of you who might not know, Chitra Iyer is a Special Needs Parent herself and also a Trustee with Forum for Autism. Her 21 year old son, Shravan has Autism, Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy. Professionally, she is a Financial Coach and the CEO of MFA, a 15-year-old organization that specializes in Goal-based Investing and has been supporting the cause of Autism for more than a decade now. She has been helping hundreds of families with her guidance, talks, webinars etc.

We would like to emphasize here that 'Special needs' covers any kind of intellectual or physical challenge/disability and not just Autism, because the challenges faced and future planning required for it, is quite similar.

Do listen and share it with all the special needs families and other groups you know.
