National Special Needs Law Month

What Is It?
In October, special needs law attorneys across the country give back to their communities by educating people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers about the resources available to assist them. We encourage NAELA members to participate as leading providers of legal guidance, services, and advocacy to enhance the lives of those with disabilities.

Ways to Celebrate — Toolkit for NAELA Members
We have put together a Special Needs Law Month Toolkit for NAELA members (sign-in required). You can reach out in a variety of ways that will benefit both your community and your practice.
