    I think there's a charity called Contact a Family, who will come out and assess your situation and help with costs of some things. Not sure if its just things of a specific list of whether it's something you can ask for - sorry - but may be worth a look.

    It would be helpful if you could name the disabilities as the one's I know of have as their objective children with certain disabilities rather then all disabilies.

    Thanks for letting us know now we will be able to help you.
  • hi, you should contact your local child development centre.
    I'm based at st lukes cdc in bradford and we have a specailist health visitor who points people to the rigt places.
    You might want to do a search for childrens charities in your area,
    people who fund us are the beckhams, the free mason's women's institutes.
    Thier is alot of money out there just need to keep knocking on doors which isn't ideal but it might pay off.Also Jk Rowling has set up a charity that might help, if you need any more help or idea's pm me and i will enquire at work.
    hope it helps and good luck.

    hi mspig

    www.cerebra.org.uk

    if the child's disability is in any way brain related (possibly your 4yr old ds?) cerebra offer grants for this sort of thing, they will pay for anything that improves the quality of life for the child concerned that is not covered by the nhs.

    hope you get something. x
