Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and for children with special health care needs, the right equipment can make a life-changing difference.

The Children with Special Needs (CSN) Fund helps Michigan families obtain essential equipment and support when other funding sources are unavailable. This important resource is designed to improve mobility, independence, and quality of life for children across the state.

For many families, items such as wheelchair ramps, therapeutic tricycles, vehicle accessibility equipment, and adaptive recreational tools are not simply conveniences — they are pathways to greater freedom, safety, and participation in everyday life. They can help children move more easily, take part in activities with family and friends, and enjoy more independence at home, at school, and in the community.

Funding may help with items such as:

• Wheelchair ramps
• Therapeutic tricycles
• Vehicle accessibility equipment
• Adaptive recreational equipment

The Children with Special Needs Fund exists to help fill the gap when other funding sources are not available, giving families another place to turn when they need support.
