Who We Are
We are an empathetic, compassionate agency, understanding of the needs of families with Special Needs. We will help you understand the bureaucracy and dynamics of the disability system enough to help you through overwhelming and scary times. We are an organization that follows family’s hearts in making the right decisions for the right reasons at the right time, for our Special Need children. We consult families at no charge so we can take a generic issue in situations and identify and apply the applicability to their personal situation.
Founder and Executive Director
Grady Jennings, our founder and Executive Director, is passionate about educating and assisting special needs families with legacy planning. Backed by real-life experience and the desire to share his knowledge with others walking the same path he has walked, his expertise in the financial and legacy planning makes him one of the foremost authorities in this field.

Forrest believes in the team approach used by The Dignity Group, whereby each family’s Life Care, Financial, and Estate Plans are addressed in a coordinated and personal manner, taking into account the uniqueness of each individual’s circumstances, and he feels privileged to be part of such a team.
