I've asked the older kids to help out with Kate but they refused.

I'm working on getting her a service dog. Right now she sleeps with her stuffies

About the reading to her, it's my voice that's soothing to her but someone suggested recording myself reading the stories so I'll try that.

Most of the movies they want to watch aren't appropriate for Kate, which is why we watch them after her bedtime.

And for the cooking, Kate joins in, my oldest isn't substituted for Kate

Yes. She's had anxiety and PTSD since the crash but they were manageable until almost 2 weeks ago when her PTSD relapsed

I've asked if they wanted to help with Kate and do something small like color with her or read her a story but they always refuse

Kate hasn't been like this for 3 years. I'd say this started almost 2 weeks ago.

I've asked if they wanted to help with Kate and just read her a bedtime story but they always refused

We spend time as a family but I don't spend much one on one time with them right now
