Living with Disabilities Study

Research by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) and Easter Seals shows the deep level of concern that parents have for the future of their adult children with disabilities, but indicates that these parents have done very little to prepare for the day that their children will be on their own.

In a radio interview for the Life, Love & Health network, John Chandler, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, explains why MassMutual sponsored the Easter Seals "Living with Disabilities" study and how the SpecialCare Program can help families having a member with a disability.
