Hello, my daughter has autism and ADHD and I'm thinking of applying for the DFG for a loft conversion so that she has a therapy / sensory room. We own our own home and she has her own bedroom but the level of noise and her insomnia is keeping everyone up. Would love to hear about your experiences of applying for this grant. Thank you.

    Take a look at the gov website as well. 


    I would imagine each local authority would have their own process and way of assessing an application and it might be worth speaking with them. 

    From the information available too because it is for someone under the age of 18 your income or savings won’t be taken into account.

    A needs assessment will mosy likely be needed before they will agree anything.

    Hi @dannielleread :) Welcome to the community! 

    This thread hasn't been active in a little while, so I'm not 100% sure whether the original poster will reply. You'd be welcome to start your own thread about this topic, too. 

    Have you been able to find all of the information you need about the disabled facilities grant (DFG)?
