Hi T.,
My name is R.. my son is 11 yrs old & is handicapped as well. i am not sure what area you are in, but i am in the Corbin, Ky. area. Because i do have a child with special needs, i work with early intervention, (which does home-based therapy with children birth -3yrs old) as a Parent Consultant. i don't know about everything, but i might be able to help with a few things. there are grants that are givin out each year for things like ramps, but you have to apply and they only choose a few. there is only limited funding for the 2 grants that i know about. - i can try to get more details about that for you. also, is there equipment or other things like that, that he needs? my son has medicaid and they paid for alot of things that he needed. like a bigger car seat, and a feeding chair, a walker, a wheel chair. it has been very wonderful. i could have never paid for those things.
please get back to me and i will do all i can to help you. most of the things i have found out about to help my son, was because i just kept calling, and asking lots of questions of every place i could think of and every social worker i could. there isn't much info just handed out. it can be very agrivating!!!! i know how you feel. but please get back to me. i am only in my office 1 day a week,-usually Thusday, but you can call or email me anytime, and i will get back to you.
hope to hear from you soon,
