[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 444946, member: 11791"] In some provinces, service clubs like Lions or Kinsmen will cover unusual, not-otherwise-funded "medical necessities" - anything from specialty equipment to travel expenses for out-of-prov medical appointments etc. Usually, they want some form of documentation (e.g. from a medical doctor) that this person needs to have what you are requesting - but not all the details about why. There will be a formal application process, and it sounds like the turn-around time is fairly fast. We haven't used it (we could use funding for all sorts of things, but our needs don't fall under anyone's umbrella!), so this is just from research, not from experience. With the range of problems you're listing, there are probably others not diagnosed... including possibly developmental dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder - which affects the ability to perform coordinated motor skills, either in difficulty learning, inability to master, or neuro-motor fatigue. Same symptoms often seen or attributed to autism spectrum without separate diagnosis, but can exist in kids not on the spectrum. Can be in fine skills (tieing shoes, writing, using knife-and-fork), gross skills (walking, riding a bike, throwing a ball), or both. If this is also a factor for your son, then he may in fact [U]need[/U] the stroller just for fatigue alone - and THEN you add in all the other sensory issues, and... not hard to see where you - and he - are coming from!
