can insurance pay for karate for a disabled child?

Insurance would probably not cover this. They may approve other alternative therapies, but you're in for a fight with them if you want them to cover the cost.

Yes it can. Its a very serious problem. Even if the person survives, he/she may have to deal with disability. Sorry, if my answer has caused anxiety to you, but thats fact. Anyhow, medicine has advanced a lot, so hope for the best.

If your daughter is delayed with her eye-hand coordination, did not qualify for special education services, but her handwriting and coordination interfere with her ability to perform well in class, then she DOES qualify for a Section 504. This is under the Americans with Disabilities Act, in which accomodations must be made to allow a child (or adult worker) accessibility to the work area, materials, etc. so that he/she can effectively do his/her work (for the child, the work is learning).\n\nSchools tend to want to avoid 504 plans, as they cost money without bringing in any extra funding. However, if they don't provide her with one, they are out of compliance and can lose what funding they already have. Get your private Visual or Occupational Therapist's diagnostic information and reports on impact for your daughter's performance in school, march on down to the principal, and say the magic words, "I have documentation for my child's ADA SECTION 504 needs. So, when can the committee meet during this upcomming month?" Under 504, assignments can be modified, specialized pencil grips or keyboarding can be provided, etc. \n\nI would also recommend contact your state's or local parent advocacy group. This is made up of parents with kids with special needs who have "been there and done that" already. They can help you with your particular state's processes, making sure meetings happen and in a timely manner, etc.\n\nhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/sec504.index.htm\nhttp://www.children-special-needs.org/vision_therapy/optometric_vision_therapy.html\nhttp://www.visiontherapystories.org/eye_tracking_disorders.html

I recommend shriners hospitals for crippled children. They are good, and free. They have helped me in the past.\n\n I believe there is one in tampa.\n\nYes she needs evaluated but you dont know what it is yet. a problem with the growthplate, hip dysplasia, who knows. \n\n\nI dont see why you need a good lawyer unless the doctor did something to cause this problem or make it worse

I'm not certain, but I don't think so. I think we have to buy those things ourselves. If he's in therapy, you could ask the therapist. Unfortunately we still have a long way to go on sensory issues being taken seriously by insurance companies, etc. You can check for them on ebay and maybe get them cheaper. You can also make an equivelant one yourself, fairly inexpensively. Just go somewhere like Toys R Us, or look online, for beanbags, the little ones. Then sew them onto a regular blanket. This also gives you more control than buying one, because you can adjust the weight to fit your child's individual needs!

Nah, ju jitsu is not karate. Both karate and Tae kwando share the same thread as in their final goal is to push your opponent away from you. But in ju jitsu it's different cause you bring your opponent to a very close distance where both punches and kicks are useless and lock them. Depends on which ju jitsu you wish to join. There's 3; ju jistu, brazilian/gracie ju jitsu or judo. In my personal experience ju jitsu have a balance of both throws and locks. Brazilian ju jitsu focus more on locks and I heard their leg locks are really devastating. Judo focus on throws and also least aggresive compare to the other 2. I would personally recommend a child to go to judo first as this would not hurt as bad and allow them to gain some basic skills first. As they grow older, maybe say 14? go for ju jitsu and at later stages go for brazilian ju jitsu as this teaches additional techniques in locks which are really powerful. By that time the child would already have adequate knowledge of ju jitsu so he/she should be able to handle brazilian ju jitsu. If the child is an young adult (14 and above) you can just let him/her join ju jitsu.

If your question is "can you purchase DI insurance now that you have arthritis", the general answer is no.  Most companies feel this is a disease that will get progressively worse and your chances of becoming disabled are greater than the average person.  However, if you are trying to collect, SS is your best bet, but be prepared for a fight.

Here is a link to The Texas Department of Health.  It lists several programs and contact information.  There's a good likelihood you are eligible under a Medicaid Waiver program which could help you with some inhome care for your child.  Try the hotline:\nhttp://archive.tdh.state.tx.us/legacytdh/cshcn/Guide2.htm

lol, interesting, if it is a karate accident then it has to be traumatic, if they don't hurt or if they don't compromise your breathing any doctor will probably not do anything either, ask your doctor if you could see a physiotherapist or chiropracter after an evaluation by a doctor, good luck

if you have medicare it is easy to get one.you just have to get a doctors order. also easter seals can help. If you have a independant living center in your area, call them. If you dont have insurance or just medicaid you can still get one but it is much harder. you will need doctor report and therapist. I got one and the medicaid denied me for almost a year. the chair provider has to work with you.

They will lower your payments during your disability period.  My nephew had an auto accident over a year ago and has not been able to return to work and he's paying about one third of what he was paying , when he worked. If you have arears, i'm sure that will be worked out also.

Disability insurance is great, and I highly recommend it. Think about it, if you are young you are much more likely to become disabled rather than to die. Disability is an excellent product. Aflac is good, just make sure you really read the policy that you choose from them, some are much better than others. Good Luck!

It will be very hard to find individual coverage that will include the pre-existing condition, impossible to find it at a cheap price. I hate to say it but COBRA is probably your best bet at this point. To bear more bad news, COBRA is limited to 18 months. Will you be disabled longer than 18 months? if so I am afraid you'll be forced to take what you can get.
