Special Needs Planning: Circle of Support

This is the second installment in a number of articles which are based upon my book Special Needs Planning: A Simple Guide for Families in New York with a Loved One with a Disability published by Graylake Publishing and released in the third quarter of 2014. The book is a response to inquiries from family members and those who support them about how best to provide for a loved one with a disability.

Caring for a loved one with a disability can be overwhelming at times. Care givers spend much of their time dealing with the immediate.
