The Dignity Group is a non-profit organization that helps families with special needs to understand and navigate the disability system. We encourage families to plan for the unknown tomorrows today while there is still time.
Do you have a Life Care Plan in place for your special needs family member?
Do you have financial, legal, and personal protections in place to protect your special needs family member?
Do you feel that it is not entirely clear what would happen to your special needs family member if you were not there to protect them?
Because we are a non-profit supported by compassionate families with special needs, we are able to consult with families at no charge. When you meet with us, we will take the time to learn about your family and discuss how to take steps to protect them and maximize their benefits.
WHO WE ARE
Our Executive Director, Grady Jennings, understands special needs families through first-hand experience. Grady, along with our partner families, bring a wealth of collective experience in planning for and protecting our special needs family members. We have worked with hundreds of families each year since 1997. Additionally, Gradys experience with his son James allows him to understand first-hand what your family may be experiencing. Though every family is different, the collective experience of The Dignity Group and our families informs us how we protect and empower families with special needs.
