Adaptive equipment can make a huge difference in how a child is able to interact with the world around them. Sometimes insurance denies the request for a specific piece of equipment or families may have limited resources and have difficulty paying for what their child needs.
Did you know that there is a program is Virginia that may be able to help! This program is up and running in Hampton, VA and Roanoke, VA. The name of this program is CATS (Children's Assistive Technology Service).
How it works: go to the website, check out the inventory, request a piece of equipment
