Friends,

I will tell you how and the way I have began looking at things like
therapies, wheelchairs and other assistive technology devices.  We all know
these things cost us money and time away from living life doing whatever we
want to.  For the paying of therapies, I would like them to realize if they
don't pay for therapy today, it's going to cost more money even someday when
not having therapy creates us having to have a surgery because our legs are
tight.  To me, a surgery and the care afterwards might cost a greater amount
of money and time instead of seeing a physical therapist or occupational
therapist once or twice a week.  Whenever you're questioning what way to go
on something, I would suggest sitting down and writing down the options and
listing the benefits and draw backs of anything you're thinking about.
Sometimes I have families do this when they're requesting for money to buy
their child a communication device and it actually has helped get the needed
money in some cases.

Thanks,
Anthony
