I just thought of one more thing that she might be eligible for depending on if she attends a public school and your location but generally most districts have an occupational therapist either on staff or on a consult basis. Because of her condition, she may be eligible for free occupational therapy through the school, could be a part of her 504 plan. She might also be eligible for an IEP, if there is a specific identified learning disability but is definitely eligible for a 504. Good luck! If you are going to do this, I recommend starting this process ASAP so services can start for your daughter at the beginning of the school year and that all of her teachers are made aware. Once she has a 504 plan or IEP, all of her teachers will be required by law to provide all of those accommodations.

She can't pull a rolling case because of the loss of range of motion. She can't straighten her arms enough. She calls herself a little t-Rex (little arms).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
