House adaptations

What worked best for me was what I could afford. The local council gave me no funding whatsoever. However, I would say to you that if the council have guaranteed the funding you should consider not just what is happening today, but what condition your son will be in a year, five years or even ten years down the line. Then you must plan for that.
It would be helpful if we had some more details, for example his age, condition,severity etc, but aso how he deals with it. Many of us with MD want to do as much as we can for ourselves, does that describe him also. He may also find that if he has his own room upstairs it is somehwere to retret to like any other child. Downstairs he may feel he was being watched all the time.

Please try and think of him as one of your other children.What would they want at that age? Then find the best solution to get him to achieve that, so he can be just like the other kids. If it was me I would like to be upstairs with the others, and I guess the others might like that too so that they can be around him more easily and interact more easily. If a wheelchair is not on the horizon then you may find that a stairlift will do the necessary task of getting him upstairs with the elast amount of disruption to your home. Mine is a godsend for me, and has obviated the need to move. But as I said what is in the plan for his health in five or ten years time.
