Can I drive my son to places he needs to go, and get paid for it?

Example

You own a lift-equipped van for your son who uses a wheelchair. You are willing to drive him to and from his day program on a daily basis. You would need to get paid to cover gas and related transportation costs. This arrangement is in your child's IPP and the regional center has agreed to fund it.
