Apply for a Reduced-Price Pediatric Belt Cane

At Safe Toddles, our goal is to make sure every child with a mobility visual impairment or blindness can walk safely and independently.

​

Because the Pediatric Belt Cane is recognized as both a medical necessity and an educational necessity, families are required to first pursue existing funding options before applying for a reduced-price device through Safe Toddles.

​

Step 1: Apply for Funding Through Insurance or Your Child’s School

Medical Funding (Insurance):
The Pediatric Belt Cane qualifies as an Assistive Technology Device (ATD) and Durable Medical Equipment (DME).
 

We ask that you first submit a claim for reimbursement through your child’s health insurance provider or Medicaid.

​

If your request is denied, please keep a copy of the denial letter—this documentation is required for Safe Toddles to consider your reduced-price application.

Educational Funding (School District):
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), schools must provide Assistive Technology Devices when they are necessary for a student to safely access their educational environment.

We ask families to request that the Pediatric Belt Cane be added to their child’s IEP or IFSP as an assistive technology device.

​

If the school declines to include the device or refuses funding, please request written documentation of that decision.

​

Step 2: Apply for the Safe Toddles Reduced-Price Program

Once you have received a denial letter from insurance and/or your child’s school, you may apply to Safe Toddles for a reduced-price or free Pediatric Belt Cane.

We will review your documentation and contact you to discuss next steps.
