Helpful Planning Tips for Oceanside Parents and Caregivers

Steps that make legal planning easier

Living in Oceanside, NY, means you have access to great resources, but getting the right legal support can still be tricky. Here are four useful tips I share with local families just starting out:

  • Check School Compliance: Stay on top of IEP meetings and district evaluations; local schools may not always meet state requirements.
  • File Early for Benefits: Apply for SSI, Medicaid, and other services as soon as possible to avoid delays.
  • Name a Legal Guardian: Don’t assume family will step in, make sure everything is documented legally.
  • Revisit Plans After Big Changes: Divorce, death, or a move can affect your legal setup. Keep everything current.
