Clients come to Special Needs Alliance (SNA) attorneys when facing difficult challenges due to an unexpected diagnosis or catastrophic accident. They are likely frustrated, distraught, and overwhelmed, navigating the labyrinth that is special needs law and the public benefits system while trying to take care of themselves or providing care to a loved one with high needs. These clients need expert attorneys to guide them, but they also need to feel seen and know they are not alone.
The SNA book club has a range of book recommendations that can offer clients a better understanding of their own or their loved one’s needs, affirmations that they are not alone, or simply a good story. The book themes include topics such as ALS, autism, brain injury, Down syndrome, bipolar disorder, raising a child who is not typical, and many others. Reading these books can help SNA members (and their clients) connect and reach a new understanding of their reality. You can find the list of books here. The SNA book club also welcomes recommendations—we’re always looking for a good read!
