If you are filing taxes on behalf of yourself or a family member with special needs, you may be eligible for certain tax breaks.

A little leisure is much needed when school lets out; however, children with special needs thrive with a little structure. It’s beneficial to maintain a routine during the summer as a way to keep your child learning and developing healthy habits.

Supporting adult family members with complex needs may involve collaboration with a variety of support systems and community-based services.
