“I am the parent of a child with special needs, and am fortunate to also be a lawyer who understands the ins and outs of trusts and financial planning,” said Clancy. “Over the years, working with many families, I realized that helping parents access experts in the special needs community would help them learn more about their child’s disability. The more parents learn, the more they can do to help their child both at home and school. This knowledge is life-changing for both parent and child.”
Katie Clancy said. “That’s why I started this series – having been through this myself, gathering reliable and sound information quickly helped me the most. My husband and I decided to help other parents by organizing informative educational talks, which soon became formalized as the “Informed Parent Series.”
