October has been designated National Special Needs Law Month by the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA). By educating people with special needs, their families and caregivers about legal rights and needs, Special Needs Law attorneys attempt to contribute as much as possible to their communities.
The goal of the NAELA is to establish members as leading providers in legal advocacy, guidance, and services to enhance the lives of those with disabilities. By participating in Special Needs Law Month and reaching out to your clients, you can help spread the NAELA’s mission.
I encourage you to recognize National Special Needs Laws Month by writing or reviewing your living will or healthcare proxy information.
