We all don’t know when we will die or when we will become impaired. So it is very important to plan for child with special need early, just as we do with child with a minor age. Unlike most of the beneficiaries, the child might never compensate the failures in your esteemed plan. A minor child with no disability will surely have the ability to obtain more resources and opportunities, when entering into the workforce. But, the child with disability may not get that opportunity.
