My 7 month old DS4 has hypotonia, development delay, ventriculomegaly, mild hearing/sight issues, cleft lip (repaired) and cleft palate. He goes to a sensory session at the SN preschool for 30 mins once a week and I can see how much this is helping him. DH's granddad has been giving me a lift there, looking after ds3 (aged 3) and picking us up. But now he has fallen out with PIL (his DS and DIL) and is now not speaking to us.
I can't drive (severe dyspraxia, haven't actually tried to learn but I struggle to push the buggy in a straight line). Taxi and childcare would cost £70 a week, more than DH's wages for a day. SS won't help, apparently DS4 isn't disabled enough. Is there any funding that I've missed. I've got access to a car, but I can't drive it. I'm wondering if it would be worth DH giving up work. He earns £18k but him not working would save us £40 a week in bus fares plus we could access so many things for the DC (therapy etc) that we can't do at the moment because there are 4DC and I can't drive.

Is there any funding for this?
