Huntsville Estate Planning Lawyer
Thank you for the feature!!!

Tanya Hallford Hendrix is a kind and compassionate Huntsville attorney who focuses on estate planning, wills, trusts (including special needs), probate and then also helps small businesses with Trademarks, Copyrights, and LLC Formation. She is the best!! And I really need to get things set up for Reagan!! And myself. 😬

Currently going thru the steps as a successor trustee for my grandfather (florida) and I can’t even imagine what this would look like if he hadn’t had a trust set up.

🌟 Working Women Wednesday 🌟

Sometimes they start transition services earlier but they are required to be in place in their IEP by the time they turn 16yrs.

Starting at age 16, every student with an IEP must have a transition plan. This plan helps prepare them for life after high school, whether that path includes college, employment, or independent living. Transition services are essential and schools are required to provide them.

This made my heart smile yesterday when I went in to help with sick clinic. Dr White told me I got something in the mail from United Cerebral Palsy of Huntsville & Tennessee Valley, Inc. and ran to get it… I love the Christmas card, but I love how they addressed the envelope most. ❤️ RCP got their own. 😊

Many children on the autism spectrum are given an additional diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Sometimes that diagnosis fits but more often I feel it deserves a closer look.

ODD is defined by a pattern of intentional defiance and hostility. The autistic behaviors that look “oppositional” are frequently rooted in communication challenges, sensory overload, anxiety, cognitive inflexibility, or difficulty with emotional regulation, not willful defiance.

If a child cannot:
• Process language quickly
• Tolerate sensory input
• Express frustration or fear
• Transition without support

…then refusal may be self-protection, not opposition.

Samantha and I stopped at the Madison life saving center for New Lease on Life today (I volunteer with them and foster/transport when I can). Denise told us to pick a puppy and take a pic with the Grinch….

Y’all someone NEEDS this puppy. He is the chillest and sweetest snuggle bug! He looks like snoopy but his name is Lincoln! Someone needs to get him before we end up with an emotional support puppy for Oso. 😅
