“If you’re walking down the right path, and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.”
– Barack Obama
Therapy sessions can range anywhere from $85 – $400 per hour. Medicaid, for example, is only willing to cover three therapy sessions a year, despite the fact that neurological injury survivors need dozens upon dozens of therapy sessions per year. Because people with disabilities tend to have a very sedentary lifestyle, exercising the body in therapy is even vital for maintaining one’s heart health. Paying for therapy out-of-pocket can put an impossible burden on families along with the many hospital bills, pricey home modifications and expensive accessibility equipment that all might be necessary following a neurological injury. Apart from being emotionally and physically challenging, these injuries are insanely expensive.
