Re: Insurance covered the helmet but not the PT

[Guest guest]

For us this actually wasn't the case. was on track as far as

her development, but they considered her " delayed " in gross motor

due to the tort. so she automatically qualified because of the

tort. I'm guessing that if her tort had been mild, then she may not

have qualified, but she was moderate and, at the time of evaluation,

she could not turn her head to the left at all.
