Therapy Grants
Special needs parents yearn to see their child hit the milestones that most reach without any effort at all. These parents watch their children put enormous effort into their physical therapy sessions, hoping to see great results.
The significant cost of intensive therapy proves worthwhile time and time again, but at Now I Can we understand how many other needs your children have that also require funds: wheelchairs, crutches, braces, adaptive shoes & clothing, medical equipment & supplies, occupational therapy, speech therapy, nurses, aides, and more. Choosing intensive physical therapy, as life-changing as it is, competes with other needs for the same family dollars.
The good news is, in addition to providing therapy and care unmatched by traditional PT clinics, Now I Can Foundation is pleased to provide grants for many patients through our Ability Fund. While we always ask families to pay some, we are happy to lighten the burden and make it possible for more kids to say “now I can”!
A specific committee of board members reviews grant applications, and then carefully allocates the funds raised from events and donors to families based on need. Because we know the financial needs all of our families experience, we try to give some amount to all who ask. We want to make sure that money is never the reason a child cannot come to Now I Can for physical therapy!
