We got a $1500.00 SSI check for our 6 year old HF Autistic son. We cannot put it into a savings account or college fund for him or we will loose his SSI benefits/medicaid (don't you just love the governments way of thinking??) We are racking our brain as to what we can get for him that would be helpful to him. He has therapy, and we even have made our spare bedroom into a makeshift therapy room. Any ideas??? We were thinking about a laptop (he is very into computers) so he can take it back and forth to school - with programs he can use at home and school and His teacher can put in things for us to do at home and we can load documents we are always needing in there (so we can print them or email them as needed) as well as being able to log his progress at therapies. However I am scared to give such an expensive piece of equipment to a 6 year old and would worry about it getting damaged or stolen - even a decent cheap one we found was $600.00!!!
Anyone been in a similar situation and can give us some advice???
Thanks
