Private insurance plans may cover <br />services, but high deductibles or co -payments place significant financial burdens on parents or <br />guardians, and limit participation in the needed therpay. Early intervention in therapy for those <br />children with delayed milestones has been proven to be effective in the development and <br />integration of skills necessary for formal development. <br />The Sunshine Kids Support Fund has been created to offset the cost of providing these <br />services, covering staff salaries and Clinic overhead, allowing these children to access care <br />needed to reach developmental milestones. <br />
