Financial Assistance for Little Champions
Living with a Little Champion can be expensive and, in addition to statutory support, there are several charities and trusts that can assist in meeting the additional costs associated with your child’s particular needs:
Daily Living
Our guide to being a Little Champion is full of ideas and advice to ensure your Little Champion reaches their full potential. With information on financial assistance, therapies, emotional support and equipment, and more, our hope is that this website will assist you in accessing the practical support you and your Little Champion deserve.
Treatment & Therapies for Little Champions
Little Champions may benefit from a wide range of treatment and therapies to assist them in reaching their full potential.
Legal support for Little Champions
At RWK Goodman, we primarily support families in navigating the legal process of bringing a claim for compensation. Through the process of instructing independent medical experts, we can determine if you or your Little Champion has received substandard care and if so, pursue a claim for damages.
