There are federal programs available for children with physical and mental special needs. IF Mariah had an IEP for her physical and/or developmental needs, she would have been eligible, through her public school, for physical therapy and/or special education services. Those services would have been provided in her home, unless the school district was large enough or had enough need for a special needs preschool.
There was a video on KW's facebook, before it was closed, of KW working with Mariah on her reading. The caption said they were reading for Mariah's teacher, and Kristy was practicing the things the teacher wanted them to do. I wish we could have access to that video, knowing what we know now. It was from this spring/beg. of summer, I think. At the time, I was watching it to learn more about Mariah's legs, and I was noticing that Mariah seemed uncoordinated in her arms and head movements, too. Otherwise she seemed like a typical toddler, and was not interested in her mom running the show. She had her own ideas about what to do. I liked seeing that spirit at the time, and was concerned with how disconnected KW seemed from Mariah. still crossing my fingers someone saved that video....
