Capper Foundation’s Children’s Ability Fund helps children with disabilities access essential therapies when families cannot afford the full cost of care. The fund provides financial assistance for unreimbursed expenses such as deductibles, copays, and therapy services not fully covered by insurance or Medicaid, including physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy. Serving more than 500 children each year, the fund removes financial barriers so children can continue medically necessary treatment, build critical developmental skills, and improve daily function. Support ensures no child is turned away due to financial hardship and families can focus on progress, not cost.
