A friend of Let Kids Be Kids requests help
Bella's mum has an opportunity to assist her child, and she needs help
Recently we were contacted by a wonderful mum in New Zealand who is feeling isolated and at the end of her tether.
Her child has an extremely challenging combination of developmental diagnoses, and as a result Bella does not thrive in a school setting.
Bella’s diagnosis
Bella has Autism, ADHD, Global Development Delay (GDD) and an intellectual disability. She has other complexities and hasn’t been able to manage at school. She has trouble with retention, and neither school nor mum have been able to help her learn.
Mum is looking at the Doman method, which will help reconnect her brain synapses so she can learn how to read and count. Mum has had to give up work to support her and is Bella is currently home schooling.
“Bella needs to go to regular appointments and if it’s possible to help with these costs it would be amazing.
“We are looking for support to place Bella into an intensive US-based therapy program here at home in New Zealand.
“We get some disability support, but resources are limited. So if parents want more intensive personalised therapy for their children, this often means seeking extra support and it is usually tens of thousands of dollars.
“I plan on engaging with functional medicine/root cause specialists and general empowering wraparound costs.
“The Doman method alone is $9,000 NZD and I will need to pay this in the next 3 weeks (by February 20) if she is able to attend the program. We would really appreciate your support.” - Bella’s mum.
