Additional Resources for Children Who Are
Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits
Lawyers at Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. have been helping families with disabled children obtain disability benefits from the government since 1985. As vital as we know these benefits are — we also know that every resource counts and that there are many other organizations in the state of Ohio that can help our clients cover what Social Security cannot.
Below, we have provided a list of professionals and organizations we're familiar with, but we do not endorse any specific provider. If you have any questions though, please feel free to call or contact our attorneys in Cleveland, Akron or Toledo for answers or additional information.
