This is one of those books every family should have. "Don't be afraid of planning," the back cover points out. "Be afraid if you don't." ABC is just what it says-a simple, step-by-step guide for families as well as professionals to help them plan for the future care, supervision, security and quality of life for a person with special needs. Every family ought to have a copy. But it's not only for families; attorneys, financial planners, caseworkers, teachers or any professional providing services to people with special needs will find this one-of-a-kind little book invaluable. As an attorney and the father of a child with special needs, The ABC's of Special Needs Planning Made Easy contained all the information I needed in order to prepare the most secure and comfortable future plan for my daughter. I would encourage both families and professionals in this Field to read this excellent book.-Jeffrey R. Feller, Attorney This book is more than just another guide on planning for the future. It is easy to understand and is full of great examples. Bart covers all of the major issues for families to do future and special needs planning. I have added this book to my 'must read' list for families. Most families don't like to think about the time when Mom and Dad are no longer there to care for their loved one with special needs. But this book helps a family walk through this process. And, let's face it, no one offers the level of care that Mom and Dad does, but with good detailed planning, parents can rest assured that their child will receive quality care. Bart addresses the true quality of life concerns that all families face on a daily basis. I personally believe that Bart is on a mission to ensure that all families with special needs children complete high quality planning for the future. This book and The Special Needs Planning Kit, are the tools that every family needs to achieve their planning goals.-Craig C. Stoxen, President & CEO, SC Autism Society,
