I have been asked to help provide a seat for school transport for a special needs child. I don't know any details, but he needs a 5 point harness. Are there any programs available that provide seats or help in this circumstance
The person I talked to is willing to take any seat she can get-away in used, expired, whatever- and I would like to provide a better alternative for him. His parents can not afford a seat for him and I can't buy one for every child I work with that needs one. Please help direct me so I can help this family!

Many local agencies can provide seats up to 65 lbs with fairly tall slots, like the Titan 65. If he needs more than that, it is likely outside their ability. If he needs a special needs seat, medical insurance is usually the place to look. If a harness is in his IEP, the IEP should spell out who provides it (often the school district would need to buy an appropriate bus harness, but sometimes the family provides the seat.)

Do you know how I go about finding those agencies?
