Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Okay - I am a mom of 5 kids with some form of autism - my youngest is just starting the process and is waiting the eval from CDTC to get the therapies started. My problem is that it feels like I am starting all over again - my two oldest are very high functioning, in fact - my daughter has PDD- NOS and and my oldest son is very high functioning. But, my two middle sons are low functioning and now my 4 year old is regressing significantly. I have been having a hard time getting therapies since they stopped 2 years ago due to scheduling, staffing, etc. - you all know the problems we face. Now I have an appointment on Sat for a speech and OT eval but the availability is limited to Saturdays for 1 hour for both of them. I have called everywhere and everyone I know and all I keep getting is no we do not take your insurance or no we do not have availability or even worse - yes, your children need 45 minutes three times a week but we can only give 1/2 an hour once a week. Any places you can recommend me calling? I feel like I am back at square one again!! Also, I have not tried the biomedical approach because of the cost - do any of you do this and have it covered by insurance? A friend of mine jsut emailed me that she was able to get her DAN doc covered by her insurance for all 3 of her kids - yet, she lives in Virginia, not Florida. Any help would be great! Thanks!!!
