0:05.9 | disabilities. If you're a parent, you know how important it is to plan for your child's future, |
0:10.5 | but if your child has a disability, saving money can feel complicated, especially when you're trying |
0:15.2 | to protect their eligibility for certain benefits like Medicaid. That's where Abel Now comes in. |
