help Meadow get the autism assessment she needs
Donation protected
Hi I’m Carly and on 16th Feb I’m doing a
22 MILE WALK to raise awareness for the
22 MONTHS children are currently waiting for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments prior to starting school. I AM ALSO RAISING MONEY specifically for my niece MEADOW, who was not considered for an assessment until she was 3 years old. Then due a to a paperwork error she had to wait 12 months for referral and now is on the long 22 month waiting list. She is now in desperate need of an urgent assessment to enable her to get suitable support to start school.
Meadow is a resilient and strong little girl who defied the odds when she arrived 3.5 months premature. When born, her whole body fit into her father's hands with her eyes still fused shut, she spent months fighting for every single breath. As a result Meadow has battled chronic lung disease throughout her early years, facing challenges most of us take for granted.
Now, at 4 years old, she's non-verbal, with global development delay but is very loving, smart and an excellent climber!
Missing these crucial assessments for conditions like ASD, ADHD, and foetal alcohol syndrome have left Meadow in limbo. She was only able to apply for mainstream schools, which despite visits, have voiced they are unable to meet the support required.
Ryan, Meadow's devoted single father, juggles work and parenthood, but is in constant struggle to get the support needed to help meadow to thrive and the current failure is only adding to his battle.
Your contribution will contribute towards private assessments for Meadow so that she is able to apply for suitable support at school.
The target amount covers an assessment for a joint ASD and ADHD assessment, If we raise over our goal, it will be donated to a related charity to meadows potential conditions (autism or foetal alcohol syndrome) or we would love to be able to help another child in Meadow’s position.
Thank you for reading and any help is greatly appreciated!
