Making healthy choices is a big part of growing up. Sometimes our disabilities make this difficult. You should be aware of what your health needs may be. For example, if you require the use of medical equipment, you may want to contact companies that provide such devises. There are also medical assistance programs available to persons with disabilities who do not have medical insurance. See below to find out who can help you.
