If they acquired this disability before the age of 26 (soon to be 46?) they're also eligible to create an able account, which would have a much lower cost than a special needs trust.

Yeah, an able account is basically a 529 for people with disabilities.

As of right now it's only for people who acquired their disability before 26. I was born with cerebral palsy so that's how I qualified.
