It really depends on the state you live in. Medicaid and private health insurance should cover therapy based on your specialist's orders. Some states have family support groups, funded by the state, that cover extra expenses not covered by insurance or the school system. It takes patience and a lot of searching, which is time consuming, but worth it.

If you live close to a city with a university that teaches graduate level PT and OT, contact the director. Students need contact hour's, people willing to volunteer. Who knows, you may end up creating an internship program with the school, to help the community out! If there any massage therapy school's nearby, they also need volunteers.

I hope my suggestions are useful.

Namaste 🕉❤🕉
