My heart goes out to Christian and his family. I would like to help them as much as I possibly can, if there is any way I could? We also have a child with disabilities/special needs, so we definitely understand about having to fight for medical equipment and necessities.

Did the family file an appeal with medicaid?

Can you imagine if everyone with a disibility got state help to improve their quality of life? Oh what a wonderful world!!

She needs to contact an agency that can provide her and her grandson with case management services. There are several different avenues that a case manager can try and access for them.
Good Luck.

If you have a diagnosed developmental disabilty prior to the age of 21, there are many resources available. In fact, it's almost absurd what families can get state assistance for. I actually know a family who got a $20,000.00 addition to their home totally paid for.

I wish that it was warm today.

You have to do a lot of "fighting" to get some help for some people with disabilities. Trust me from experience, it is not that easy to get things covered.
