PR Newswire

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Families with special-needs members live with constant stress. They worry about taking care of their family member with a disability, getting out of debt, saving for retirement, and providing a secure future for their family members. Rob Wrubel, a Certified Financial Planning professional and a father of a daughter with Down syndrome, has penned a new book, Financial Freedom for Special Needs Families: 9 Building Blocks to Reduce Stress, Preserve Benefits, and Create a Fulfilling Life.

The book aims to help families who have a member with autism, Down syndrome, a brain injury, cerebral palsy or some other cause of an intellectual or developmental disability remove as much of that stress as possible.

Financial Freedom for Special Needs Families is based on his Blueprints for Special Needs financial planning process, which the father of three children created after the birth of his middle daughter. Wrubel is now dedicating himself to becoming the leading expert on financial planning for families with a special-needs member.

Financial Freedom for Special Needs Families will help families:

Understand special-needs trusts and how to have one in place in 30 days.
Create financial stability.
Take steps to fund a trust to care for their family member with special needs.
Appreciate how much they have learned about themselves by caring for a family member with a developmental disability.
Gain more clarity about what they want out of life for themselves and every family member.
