WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) established October as National Special Needs Law Month as a grassroots effort to help people with disabilities and their families understand special needs planning and the resources available to them.
