摘要

The Numbers Are Staggering One child in nine has a disabil-ity, either physical or mental. Yet government support can't cover everything. What's needed is some smart financial planning. Medical advances now ensure that disabled children live longer and longer, often surviving their parents. "Twenty years ago that wasn't the case, but it is now," says Nadine Vogel, who runs MetLife's Division of Estate Planning for Special Kids. Indeed, the average life span of people with a developmental disability (such as mental retardation) is 66 years, triple what it was in the 1930s. The increase in life expectancy is stunning for people with Down syndrome―they live to 56 on average, two times their expected life span as recently as the 1980s. The U.S. has 650,000 adults over the age of 60 with developmental disabilities. This number is expected to double by 2030.
