OT forgot smthg!Re: How do I find an aide?

[Guest guest]

Thank's! We are receiving the Feat email already. I've looked at the

SSI website before, & to my understanding we don't qualify for that

because hubby is making a good living. Just today, we drove an hr

each way to see a place that would do an in-home ABA therapy for .

They will finalizre everything & put them in writing, sort of a

contract. Then start coming to our house 3x a week, 1 hr each time to

start. They're going to have to look for someone who will be willing

to travel. SO, we're going to wait & see if someone can do that.

It's just too much for me to drive that long several times a week & to

add to that, being 5 mos. pregnant. They charge $50/hr & an

additional $30/week for the traveling the therapist have to do. It's

a lot of money but we have to do it for . They will not agree to

pay for this. This could start in 2 weeks then end if he gets used to

the full day school program. If he doesn't get used to the school

then we will have to keep him on this in-home therapy for a while.
