Anyone who is working with families going through divorce has a duty, in my opinion, to educate themselves on some of the unique challenges their clients may be facing. Many of those clients may have a child with special needs or a neurodivergent child. These families need professionals who have empathy, understanding, and specialized training in this area. As professionals, we can help them spot the issues they will need to tackle during this process and move through the overwhelm they are feeling on a daily basis. During this training, I gained a lot of insight into the resources that are available to families with special needs children, as well as some of the unique emotional and financial challenges that parents are facing when they are going through divorce with a special needs child.

The new Certified Divorce Special Needs Coach training program is what will make you stand out! The intersection of divorce with special needs children has skyrocketed and these parents need professionals to help them navigate it. This 8-module class will teach you all you need to be successful in helping your clients. Clients will find you essential and will continue to come back for more sessions. The planning and expert instructors are at the top of their fields, and you will feel confident in custody and financial topics for disabled children. I highly recommend signing up for the cohort to be a pioneer in this much needed field! It doesn’t get more rewarding than this! 

So many families with children with complex needs are struggling to find knowledgeable and empathetic professionals to support them when facing divorce. The CDC Special Needs Certification has been carefully crafted and designed to provide CDC Certified Divorce Coaches insights and tools needed to support parents trying to navigate the extra considerations of divorce and specialized planning when a child with disability is involved. 

Clients deserve to work with people who show them and their families respect, listen without judgment, and honor them as the expert and ultimate decisionmaker regarding what is right for them and their family. This is a foundational principle for the training of the CDC Special Needs Divorce Coach.

When divorce is inevitable, there are many unanswered questions about the family’s financial future. When there is a Special Needs Child involved, the planning process takes another unique turn that the family may not be prepared to handle. Working with a Special Needs Divorce Coach who understands the specific emotional and financial needs of a family during this time can make the difference between irrational, emotional decisions, and thoughtful productive planning decisions that can help secure the future welfare of the Special Needs Child.

Parents of special needs children often feel alone and misunderstood when divorcing, as if no one understands their child’s unique challenges. Unfortunately, divorces involving neuro-diverse children are complex and difficult to comprehend. CDC Special Needs Divorce Coaches play a pivotal role in guiding and empowering clients to be vigorous advocates for their children and themselves. It is a must-have certification that will add valuable skills to your practice.
