Hi all, don't normally like doing stuff like this but as it's for my Niece thought I'd give it a go to help her out. Basically my niece is autistic and has other issues like been non verbal and is slow to hit age related landmarks. But she's a star, absolutely loves been thrown about or hanging upside down (believe its to do with the sensory input) She tires you out before she is.

We've recently got her an spinning egg chair from IKEA that she loves and my sister has just turned her under stairs cupboard into a sensory safe haven for Pria.

Anyway, the reason for the post.

This is the post that she has put out on Facebook and asked me to share.

Would anyone please take a minute and click the link and heart my daughters photo ❤️
This is my daughter Pria, she is autistic, non verbal and has global delays. Pria is quickly out growing her pram and is in need of a specialist one due to normal ones not big enough for her. Pria is entered into a SEN competition and if she was to win we can then get her the buggy that she needs for her safety .. it just takes 1 minute to click the link and heart her photo it really would be greatly appreciated

If anyone has the time to like the photo that'll be great.

Thank you all.
 
Done and good luck with it. Specialist seating and equipment can be ridiculously expensive.

If it doesn't work out there may a charity that would help with cost or even fully fund it, if the application is supported by a specialist and not covered by NHS funding.

Family Fund is one to check out. Some charities will only support particular areas or disabilities, income can also be a factor (as always) but there are so many out there that people never hear of, it is worth checking.

I do know she has already started to apply for some things, but as normal the process is too long. This would give her the opportunity straight away for a specialist chair and then she can withdraw her application and hopefully that will free up a space for someone else in need.
 
Done, this is some orphan crushing machine stuff though clicking for a disabled child to have something they need.

How much does the buggy cost?
