SPECIAL NEEDS CAR SEAT FUNDING
Many families face challenges in affording the special car seats their children need, as these often come with a higher price tag compared to standard ones available in local shops. This is because these car seats are equipped with additional supports to cater to the unique needs of children with special requirements.
Here we will show you how to fund your special needs car seat, after you get a quote from LAZAREHAB:
​
OPTION 1 - Health Insurance - It's definitely worth checking with your health insurance provider to see if they cover such equipment. Some health insurance plans may offer coverage or reimbursement for specialized medical equipment, including car seats for children with special needs.
​​
OPTION 2 - Motability - If you have a vehicle from Motability or if you have applied for one, you can contact the Motability Foundation to check if you are eligible for funding for a special needs car seat.
​
OPTION 3 - Local Authorities - Reach out to your local council to inquire about any available funding or support programs for special needs car seats. They often have dedicated departments or officers who can guide you.
​​
OPTION 4 - Local Charities - Applying to local charities can be a strategic way to secure funding for a special needs car seat. These organizations often receive fewer applications compared to larger national charities, which can increase your chances of obtaining the support you need. Local charities are typically more attuned to the needs of their communities and may have more flexible criteria for granting assistance. They may also offer personalized support and guidance throughout the application process, making it easier for you to navigate the requirements and improve your chances of success.
To get started, research local charities in your area that provide funding for special needs equipment. Reach out to them directly to inquire about their application process and eligibility criteria. Be prepared to provide information about your child's specific needs and any supporting documentation that may be required, such as a letter from a healthcare professional or a quote from LAZAREHAB for the car seat.
By tapping into local resources, you can increase the likelihood of receiving the necessary funding to ensure your child's safety and comfort while traveling.​
​
OPTION 5 - National Charities - Applying to national charities may involve a more competitive process, but their extensive resources and dedicated programs can provide significant financial assistance. It's beneficial to carefully prepare your application, highlighting the unique needs of your child and how the funding will positively impact their daily life. Reaching out directly to these charities can also provide additional guidance and support throughout the application process.
By leveraging the resources available through national charities, you can increase your chances of securing the necessary funding for a special needs car seat, ensuring your child's safety and comfort during travel.
​
OPTION 6 - Crowdfunding - Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular method for raising funds for various personal and community needs, including securing special needs equipment like car seats. This approach leverages the power of community support and social networks to gather small contributions from a large number of people, making it possible to reach your funding goal more quickly.
