CFP®-certified, planning for children with special needs financial advisors in Indiana
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
When you have a child with special needs, planning for their lifelong care and financial security becomes a priority. Without focused expertise, advisors might overlook critical benefits or legal protections that affect your child's future.
- Government benefits navigation. Confirm how they help coordinate your child's eligibility for programs like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income, which have strict income and asset rules.
- Special needs trust guidance. Ask about setting up trusts that protect your child's benefits while providing for additional needs.
- Education and therapy funding. Explore how they plan for costs related to specialized schooling or therapies that may not be covered by insurance.
- Long-term care planning. Ensure they consider guardianship, housing, and support services as part of a comprehensive strategy.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
