This post is part of a campaign in partner with ABLE United, however all opinions are mine.
As a parent of children with autism I always worry about the financial future of my kids. There are very few measures that we can take to ensure the financial future of our special needs children, until now. ABLE is the solution that parents like me have been waiting for. In most cases, the best you can do for your family is to leave an inheritance that can help your child carry-on his or her life without you. The issue with this solution is that it will cause additional restrictions for children with disabilities. If your child needs federal aid services such as SSI or any other federal benefits having any asset, such as an inheritance, savings, or property may prevent them from acquireing those benefits. Though unfortunate, this is the reality and fear that many parents such as myself face when planning for the future of our special needs babies. With our hands often tied advocating for our children while we are still present is currently the very best option we have for them. 
With ABLE this can all change. I am so excited to share with you information on a plan that can secure the stability and financial future of our children.
About ABLE
After years of advocating, negotiating, and compromising, the Stephen Beck Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed into law. The ABLE Act now allows for the creation of savings and investment accounts for people with disabilities without negatively impacting federal benefits, in other words with out loosing the benefits. Florida is among the first states to implement the law, which created the ABLE United program.
The mission of ABLE United is to encourage and assist the saving of private funds to help people with disabilities cover costs that support their health, independence and quality of life. Simply put, to help save for a better life experience. And that is how it allow us as parents to have a piece of mind knowing that with can save money for our kids with the guarantee that they are not be exempt of they federal benefits if they need them.

Que bueno saber que existen este tipo de programas de ayuda a personas con discapacidades. Ojalá se extienda a otros Estados de la unión Americana.
Soy #mamaguerrera, tengo un hijo con perecía cerebral e hidrocefalia. Lamentablemente en PR no hay absolutamente nada para nuestra población de guerreros. Esta iniciativa es digna que todos los Estados la emulen. Gracias por tan compartir.
Te invito a visitarnos en nuestro grupo https://facebook.com/somosguerrerosnosomosinvisibles
Abrazos.
Wanda, te entiendo, por razones como la tuya es que quiero que este programa se difunda. La verdad que nuestros hijos y todas las personas con necesidades especiales merecen tener una opción como esta que asegura de alguna forma un mejor futuro. Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Estoy contigo de corazón porque entiendo tu lucha. Besos!
Qué bueno que existe una encomienda como esta para proteger a los que más lo necesitan y darle la tranquilidad a las familias.
