There is an NRKIN on my caseload who took in a sibling set of three, with the younger two being twins. Since taking these three children in, the foster mother has been incredible in getting the children up to date on medical appointments, and enrolling them in services. It is suspected that the younger of the twins may have cerebral palsy and had a stroke in the womb. This NRKIN has requested a care portal service, as the physical therapist for the twins (whom are under 2 years of age) has recommended a rebounder for medicinal and therapeutic use. The request is due to the family having multiple children, and this would financially help them out instead of paying for it out of pocket. Thank you for your time and consideration!
