What are your experiences of trying to meet your children’s needs?

I feel that parents who have children with additional needs, often face significant challenges in meeting their child's specific requirements. There is a constant struggle to balance therapies, specialised equipment, and support services with little or no financial resources. This causes stress and exhaustion as a result of trying to prioritise and make difficult decisions about how they can best allocate their limited funds.
