Special Needs Parenting Plans

Parenting a child with special needs requires careful planning, flexibility, and a deep understanding of their unique care requirements. When parents separate or divorce, having a detailed, thoughtful parenting plan becomes even more critical to ensure the child’s emotional, educational, medical, and developmental needs are fully supported.

At Genesis Mediation of Indiana, we specialize in helping families create customized parenting plans that address the specific needs of children with disabilities or special health conditions. Our mediators have in family dynamics, child development, and complex care situations.

When creating a parenting plan for a special needs child, we help parents collaborate on important issues such as:

• Medical and therapy schedules
• Educational needs, including IEP or 504 Plan coordination
• Daily routines and specialized care instructions
• Transportation and accessibility planning
• Decision-making authority for healthcare, schooling, and treatments
• How parenting time and visitation will be adapted to meet the child's needs
• Financial arrangements for ongoing care and services

We offer a calm, supportive environment where parents can work through sensitive issues with respect and understanding. Our process is also affordable and inexpensive compared to traditional litigation, helping you save money that can instead be used toward your child’s care.

At Genesis Mediation of Indiana, we believe that every child deserves a parenting plan that nurtures their strengths, safeguards their health, and honors their unique journey — and we’re here to help you create it.
