Your Elder Years Strategy; U.S. Supreme Court Ruling Helps Students with Special Needs

Your Elder Years Strategy

I recently saw two advertisements from companies trying to help people "stop Medicaid from taking your retirement." The ads paint a frightening picture and offer advice on how to avoid trouble. Typically, when you read between the lines of these advertisements, you see they're usually advising you to take one or two strategies: develop some kind of trust, or invest in some kind of financial product. I'm not suggesting that these are bad ideas or that the people sending you these advertisements are bad people. I do suggest that the concern for long-term care is not about buying a product. It's about establishing a strategy for how you wish to age.

U.S. Supreme Court Ruling Helps Students with Special Needs

By Attorney Franklin J. Hickman

On March 22, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that a school must offer an IEP reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child's unique circumstances (Endrew F. v. Douglas County Sch. Dist. 2017 Lexis 2025).
