Trussville City Schools has loaned us this stander for Sophie Kate for the summer. We have been without a stander for almost a year now. Insurance won't pay for one (they don't see this as necessary for our girl) and it is extremely expensive to buy one out right. It is ridiculous what people charge the parents of special needs children for equipment/supplies/toys, etc. Don't get me started...they ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Back to our fabulous school system...see how happy she is to be upright and enjoying life from a different position for a change. Thanks to everyone who made this possible, our girl is loving it!
Look what we found one day when we were dropping off Sophie Kate with her nurse...
One day old kittens...
Oh my goodness we were in cuddly and cuteness overload...
This little cutie pie started climbing over to SK...
My kids were in love with these little babies. They really were so cute with their little squeaks. No we're not getting one but we sure enjoyed cuddling them for an afternoon.
Okay, I can now die of sweet precious goodness...

Amye,
My daughter, Maggie, is going to be getting a new stander soon, and the one you show would be perfect. Would you be able to let me know the brand/model #?
Thanks so much,
Michelle
Michelle, it is a Tumble Forms 2 tristander. I didn't see a model #. I really like it and so does SK. I definitely recommend this one.
If you don't mind me asking, how are y'all getting a stander? Is insurance paying and if so how did y'all get them to do it?

Thank you for the information, Amye.
We live in California, and we have a program called CCS(California Children's Services)which provides therapies, equipment, etc. At the last visit with Maggie's CCS doctor, he recommended that Maggie have a stander. When the doctor gives a recommendation, it is almost guaranteed you receive the equipment. So, then it goes between our private insurance and the state paying for it.
But, they will not approve everything. We asked them to approve a Kid Walk walker for her, and that was denied.
I agree with you that it is reprehensible what parents of special needs children are asked to pay for toys, equipment, and so on.
Have a great day.
Michelle
