Answer to Question 1

T
These families often suffer financial hardship, which can lead to issues related to coping
and other strains on the family. Health insurance benefits may quickly reach their
maximum. Even if the child is on special assistance for health care, one parent may have to
remain home with the child rather than work outside of the home. Social work and
financial or prescription assistance may all be necessary and appropriate sources of
support.
