[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you apply and get a grant? Some emails came through advertising teachers for these grants but I didn’t know this was a thing I could do. [/quote]

They are already maxed out but you can still put an application in on the off chance there are more funds.

I’ve had a heck of a time using mine. I wanted to use it for OT for my DD with a disability. The soonest I could book an approved provider is October. This program is poorly designed and I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of people who received the funds have trouble using the funds. [/quote]

They changed the rules again. You now have until September 1 to use "some" of the money. Try to figure out something to get a payment in the system to somebody, You don't have to continue with the same tutor.  If you are using it for OT, you might be able to use some of if for assistive tehcnologies or supports.

Some people are even using it to buy ipads.[/quote]

Yup this is PP and that’s what we are doing. We put in a request to purchase something that should count as assistive technology for $25. This should hopefully allow us to hang onto the money for the rest of the year. Unfortunately even that $25 purchase from an approved assistive tech provider needs to be checked by VDOE and I’m hoping that process doesn’t take like a month otherwise we will be out of luck.[/quote]
