About the Speaker
Kacy Seitz, ChSNC, CLTC, Financial Advisor and Fiduciary is a special needs parent and mom to Hudsyn, her daughter who has complex medical needs, Kacy is a financial advisor in Kansas City. After six years in the financial services industry, she opened her practice with Northwestern Mutual in 2013 because she had difficulty finding good, sound advice from a variety of financial advisors who could help her develop a solid plan for her daughter. Her purpose in life is to awaken understanding and help others become empathetically aware of people with disabilities. She focuses on helping special needs families with proper financial planning throughout their lifetimes. 

Whether a family has substantial means or a few assets, it is critical to take time to develop and implement a special needs plan. There are unique circumstances along with many decisions to be made that can have a profound impact on a child’s quality of life while caregivers are living, and after they’re gone. A proper special needs plan can help avoid common mistakes and oversights that could jeopardize the lifetime support of a person with disabilities.
