Hi

I had a second skin suit from fingers to shoulder as a young un. I can't remember how/if we got funding, but will ask my Mum. Maybe PADP? My suit was two pieces, and i found the glove bit (to elbow) much more beneficial and comfortable to wear. I was using mine for a different reason (sensory stuff), but they have a great reputation for lots of uses. They can be hot when worn in Summer, but you kinda get used to it.

Have you had other equipment funded in the last couple of years? I think The "Victorian Aids and Equipment Program" (formerly PADP) only fund something every 2 years. If you google, "Victorian Aids and Equipment Program", you can find more info.

Younger kids will also grow out of suits fairly quickly, especially full body ones. So, hopefully the funding people can talk about what happens with the next suit.

Independent Living Centres or an Occupational Therapist may be be able to give you more info on funding options.

Lions clubs or Rotary etc may also be able to assist.

good luck
