Special Love Letters from Special Needs Parents

SPECIAL LOVE LETTERS

Dear PSN Friends:

In honor of February (also known as: the month of love…and because we love our children) let’s use this month and create some “love letters” for our kids. Please join us and participate in the writing a Special Love Letter for your child.

One of the most important components of a Special Needs Plan is the Letter of Intent (LOI). Although not legally binding, this document is extremely important to assure that any subsequent caregiver understands the intricacies of your individual and your wishes for their future care. It is almost impossible to provide too much information and it should be updated periodically. Imagine someone having to step into your shoes overnight and provide the same level of care that you routinely do without missing a beat.
