Many times, the financial burden of children with stroke is not met by traditional insurance. We hope to gather as much information as possible to help you first of all be able to take full advantage of the insurance you pay for and secondly to investigate alternative sources of funding. Also be sure to read about the importance of a special needs trust in estate planning.
