Re: OT: Finally can focus on getting her better!

Yipeeeeeee!!!!

Glad to hear you were successful. I hate the fact that we have to use

our precious energy and focus on these types of battles, since we

have so many other things we need to focus on for our kids.

That's great news that will be getting what she needs. Sounds

like you are heading for a good summer.

yesterday! We were scheduled to take them to court this Thurs. and

Fri. and they settled with us finally. We are so pleased! We got

her whole ABA home program (15 hrs per week) and her ABA shadow aid

at pre-school (9 hrs per week) through the whole summer! We had to

compromise on speech therapy but they paid us enough reimbursement

money to pay for speech for the summer too. We have paid for all of

her assessments and therapy ourselves to this point. We borrowed

from family to do that, so now can pay everyone back. Thank God! We

made no money on this deal...just broke even, but got her the help

she needs.

focus on getting her better. And I can start focusing on the diet

again. We have continued it but it has been hard to focus on it, and

I've used a lot of pre-packaged food to get us through this.
