| Is there a guide or calculator online that would help me to set savings goals in this scenerio? I am aware of the importance of doing a special needs trust, ensuring that my child will be eligible to receive services/SSI as an adult. What I am wanting to know more about is a guesstimate of how much money to save for long-term adult care, etc. |

| Merrill Lynch has an online special needs planning calculator. No idea if it's any good. http://specialneedscalc.ml.com/sncstep1.jsp |
