Special needs financial planning is a topic most parents would like to ignore. But my research before writing Different Dream Parenting<\/span><\/em><\/a> helped demystify the topic and convinced me of its importance. So when Friendship Circle of Michigan<\/span><\/a> requested I become one of their guest bloggers, special needs financial planning was the first topic I tackled.<\/p>\n
