How Can Mama Hippos Help? Navigating the search for resources, understanding insurance and sources of funding, in addition to advocating for accommodations – well, it is a full-time job! Mama Hippos helps you find resources and advocate for the accommodations your loved one needs.

Navigation: First, we get to know you, your family and your loved one’s strengths, goals, challenges and needs. Next, we search for resources in your county that potentially meet the needs of your loved one and family. Then, we sit down together to review the list of resources and make a plan.

Advocacy: Mama Hippos helps you advocate for accommodations that open doors for your family. For example, if there is, perhaps, a museum that your family always wanted to visit, but you aren’t sure if the museum is equipped to accommodate specific sensory needs – first we will talk through the needs together. I will visit the location to review any potential challenges and work with the location to establish accommodations. Finally, you and I talk through ways to prepare your family for a successful experience.
