Question on Florida Statutes

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I'm trying to find a website that would help me get the definition for Florida Statues 393.063(3) on Autism.

I'm on myfloridahouse.gov, but I need more details. My daughter's disability according to Florida Statutes is in question and I need to know what are my steps towards proving her disability according to the laws of Florida.

If anyone can guide me on where I can find the necessary reading materials so that I can start working on a letter or test that would prove this.

Thank you,

[Guest guest]

Has your Daughter been diagnosed by a physician? If so, the diagnosis would be sufficient.

Yes, my daughter has been diagnosed by a physican and in fact there was a letter with all the pertinant documentation. I don't understand how this is not enough.

Should I have her tested again?

This might help - http://www.guardianadlitem.org/Practice_Manual_files/PDFs/Ch20_Developmental_Disabilites.pdf

read down to the section you need.

Who is questioning your child's disability? As someone else said, if a licensed M.D. diagnosed it, there is no questioning it by anyone, especially not the schools!

I've put in an application for med-waiver and I received the letter from them regarding my daughters disability. Yes a doctor has diagnosed my daughter.

Thank you for this materia, it will come in handy.

Not necessary. Sometimes we just have to wade through all the beaurocratic mess, it is unfortunate, but our reality. Someone just had an oversight at your expense, happens to the best of us. If you have your diagnosis you will be fine.

Sorry if I missed this in a previous post, but what is the reason you are needing to prove your daughter's disability? If it's for getting on the med-waiver wait list (if they are still accepting folks on the wait list), they only accept certain diagnoses, and only from certain types of doctors...is this what you're running up against?

If the diagnosis is for autism then your child should qualify. If it's PDD NOS

that is not on the approved list of disabilities to qualify for the waiver.

The diagnosises are in the statute, FS 393 and are these five only: Prader-Willi, Cerebal Palsy, Mental Retardation, Spina Bifida and Autism. Any other diagnosis, even if on the spectrum ie Aspergers or PDD NOS, can and will likely be excluded. Better to have your doctor relook at the actual diagnosis and update materials if appropriate.

There is no point in you appealing, as the diagnosis Aspergers will not qualify your child for the waiver, as per the statute one of our listmembers posted last week.

Yes, I know, I need a letter from a another doctor and re-submit to APD. There's one thing I don't understand and that is, if there weren't any specifications for my daughter's diagnosis of Asperger then she would fall under the Autism category.

I don't understand how my daughter can qualify for SSI but not for medwaiver, I think since Asperger is under Autism they should re-write their qualifications. Its just not fair does that mean that by their standards there is nothing wrong with my daughter?

Sorry if I missed this in a previous post, but what is the reason you are needing to prove your daughter's disability? If it's for getting on the med-waiver wait list (if they are still accepting folks on the wait list), they only accept certain diagnoses, and only from certain types of doctors...is this what you're running up against?

Yes, my daughter has been diagnosed by a physican and in fact there was a letter with all the pertinant documentation. I don't understand how this is not enough.

Should I have her tested again?

Question on Florida Statutes

Hello all,

I'm trying to find a website that would help me get the definition for Florida Statues 393.063(3) on Autism.

I'm on myfloridahouse.gov, but I need more details. My daughter's disability according to Florida Statutes is in question and I need to know what are my steps towards proving her disability according to the laws of Florida.

If anyone can guide me on where I can find the necessary reading materials so that I can start working on a letter or test that would prove this.

Thank you,

I don't believe that a dx of Aspergers will qualify your daughter for SSI, either. It's got to be autism. Talk to your doctor.

I don't know of any other benefits, unfortunately, although you might want to check with 211 Broward.

To: sList Sent: Fri, October 1, 2010 10:56:14 AMSubject: Re: Question on Florida Statutes

I don't understand how my daughter can qualify for SSI but not for medwaiver, I think since Asperger is under Autism they should re-write their qualifications. Its just not fair does that mean that by their standards there is nothing wrong with my daughter?

Can you tell me what other benefits I can apply for?

There is no point in you appealing, as the diagnosis Aspergers will not qualify your child for the waiver, as per the statute one of our listmembers posted last week. The diagnosis in this case must be Autism, not Aspergers, in order to qualify for the Home and Community Based Services Waiver (Medwaiver).

But even if they write Autism, they still have to provide documentation

(an evaluation or measurement tool) that supports this diagnosis. I just went

through this with the PB County APD. I went to Dr Tuchman & Dr Baquero-

both who gave my daughter an Autism diagnosis yet their summary reports were

not sufficient. (I couldn’t believe Dr Tuchman’s would not be acceptable but

is was not) I even had supportive research documentation (ADOS and such) from

the Univ of Miami sib study but because it was for research purposes, it was

not acceptable either. It took me a year through all of it but in the end, I

ended up using a psychologist that they referred me to. It was her diagnosis and

use of a measurement tool (cant think of it right now) that confirmed it for us

and we were put on the list just last week. Then I was told I might never see

services unless I am in crisis. What else can you do except keep trying and

look for any loop holes you can get in on. All of our children need services

and support whether they are high or low functioning on the spectrum. As one

parent once pointed out to me - If you have cancer does how it matter how much

you are affected if you will treat it or not? If you had it – you treat it and

get support in any way you can.

Yes, I know, I need a letter from a another doctor and

there weren't any specifications for my daughter's diagnosis of Asperger then

she would fall under the Autism category. I just don't understand why

doctors can't just put down Autism after all it does start with Autism right?

SSI is a monthly check and Medicaid. Family income needs to be very low. If you think you might qualify, definitely contact Social Security. Here's a link to help determine eligibility

Myra;

The definition for Autism is a diagnoses of Autism 299.00 by a neurologist,

psychologist or psychiatrist. The reason behind the MedWaiver is to provide

services so that a child does not need to be institutionalized, but rather stay

in the community. I would guess that a parent with a child with Aspergers would

never have to consider institutions.

The defintion of SSI disability is a disability or combination of conditions

that result in " marked and severe functional limitations " . The childs condition

must last at least 12 months or must result in expected death. The following

would qualify a child immediately; HIV, total blindness, total deafness, CP,

Downs, MS, Severe MR > 7yr old, birth weight < 2lb, 10 oz.

Hope this helps,

Jayne, Mikismom
