Does anyone have ideas about securing funding for a child whose family cannot afford to pay for the Lexercise program?

I just starting seeing a 7.5 year old child with the following diagnoses:  dyslexia, language disorder, hypotonia, and ADHD.  The family cannot afford the fees so that this youngster can participate in the Lexercise  program.  He receives speech/language and O.T services at school. 

I met the family because I volunteer as a reading tutor through a local dyslexia tutoring program.  I am very concerned that working with him only once a week will make his progress very slow.  A lot of time is taken up with refocusing his attention.  I think that Lexercise would be much more effective for him. 

Any suggestions for locating funding would be appreciated.

  Rosalie,

  We'll see what other clinicians say, and in the meantime here is another forum post on the subject: What if my client can't afford Lexercise?

  Hello,

  I know this is an old post but the question still is important today and probably forever.  We paid our retirement (over $160,000) to educate our 4 children who all have dyslexia just to get them through high school. (They are all in college now on their dime and drive.)

  When funding issues came up for our family  I looked into this sort of funding: http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/archives/20001121/003803.html 

  however the ideas were so new that I was gun shy about trying it.

  Maybe enough time has past to take another look at the ideas presented.

   

  Thanks
