Having read about the 2008 Medicare and Medicaid budgets, the author concluded that more families are going to be turned down for the equipment they are going to need. Here he shares a story of hope, determination, and perseverance. A call came into the ExoMotion office from an anxious mother asking about strollers for her daughter with special needs. It was discovered that her daughter was a child with autism. Regardless of severity of symptoms, a child with a diagnosis of autism simply does not qualify. Since her child was able to sit, and walk unaided, it was determined "on paper" that she did not have mobility needs. Though the child's need for an adaptive stroller was glaring, the ExoMotion Equipment is coded as a pediatric folding wheel chair, and therefore not paid for by Insurance and Medicaid. Clearly, a brain storm was needed to connect this family to someone who might be willing to help. The author recalled that Bob Denver, who had played Gilligan on the T.V. Series, Gilligan's Island, and his wife raised a son with autism. Without hesitation, after a couple of phone calls, the Denver foundation agreed to help get this equipment to the family. Every parent of a child with special needs has probably faced or will face a baffling denial of equipment, supplies, or nursing care at some point. Reasons for denial are as varied as the disabilities the children live with. At times, denial leaves the family to believe that no one understands their child. The author of this article, is the Vice President of ExoMotion, a company specializing in special needs equipment. He wrote this article to encourage parents to never give up hope, and keep searching for companies, organizations, and individuals who may be able to help them acquire the help their child may need.
