New, worried and have question on insurance

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. My name is Marsha and I have a beautiful little girl who will

turn 3 in July named Grace. Grace has been with early intervention since

Sept. for speech therapy. It was believed then that she was delayed due to

chronic ear infections. She had tubes at 10 months and again yesterday and

also yesterday had her adenoids removed. They now believe she has verbal

apraxia due to her lack of progress and her inability to mimic and form the

sounds. She has several words, but no sentences or word combinations. In July

she will no longer be eligible for the early intervention and my insurance

has now cut us off because they only allow a yearly benefit of $500 for

speech therapy. We are being evaluated for public school therapy in the fall.

I really want to continue private therapy and will need to from July until

September either way. Is there any low cost speech clinics that any of you

know of? We live in VA. Her therapists now charge $100 an hour and I'm just

not sure how we're going to pay $400 a month for therapy. I am so upset by

this and so worried about Grace. This has all just hit us this week. Sorry

this is so long and I would appreciate any help any of you could give me.
