Denver7’s Jaclyn Allen reports on how Colorado Legal Services supported families in their fight to challenge state Medicaid denials for adaptive car seats.
Families across Colorado faced repeated Medicaid denials for adaptive car seats—essential, crash-tested safety seats that doctors recommend for children with special needs.
In a powerful Denver7 investigation by Jaclyn Allen, families share how they fought back with support from Colorado Legal Services. Together, they challenged multiple denials, pushed for accountability, and helped the state update its policy, making it easier for children to get the equipment they need to ride safely.
This is the power of legal aid: ensuring families don’t have to fight the system alone, and helping turn unfair decisions into lasting change.
