Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi Lori, I don't think you need to apologize. My son is 26 and still needs services but he's pretty much outgrown any services. Our insurance never paid for any therapy. He is hearing impaired and they wouldn't pay for tests or aids. Everyone on here knows it goes on and on. By the way, in Missouri(where I live)insurance now pays for some of the ABA. My son wasn't diagnosed until he was 12 so it's been a long road and will continue to be a long, expensive road. My husband and I are his only family and that is my biggedt concern. What will happen to him when we are gone? We are in our sixties and stress, as you know, has been a great part of our life so I don't hold much hope for our living a long life. I feel for the family who is having a tough time and I hope that they somehow make it through the therapys(ies?) Maybe someone on here can recommend some stratigies for them..
