[QUOTE="buddy, post: 501095, member: 12886"] retainer lenses for nearsightedness? wow, I have never heard of that before. I am really nearsighted, they just increase the strength of the lenses.... Not so big a deal... is she at risk of some serious issue? That is a lot of money. Very interesting. Just curious what it is. It certainly wont hurt to apply for ssi. there is a website for you to answer questions about it. If she meets the definition of disabled she should qualify and most people say that they are denied the first time. I know of people who were approved right away and we have a mom here who just found out her difficult child was approved the first time too. Your daughter is not in quite as severe a situation as hers but she sounds to have more issues than one of the students I helped apply. (he was a gifted/talented aspie). You can also call your county to ask for a developmental disabilities case worker. They can help you apply for any financial assistance. Here many families get a "family grant" or other grants that are nto income dependent. they allow them to pay for things that insurance wont cover. If she is eligible for MA for disabled kids then you may get more coverage too. There are waiting lists for many programs but sign up for them all... time flies and the economy changes and what is a long list one year can be no list in five years. My son got on a waiver back when our state had extra funds they applied to MA and ALL people on ma at the time could just sign up and get the waiver. Thank heaven because it is a lifetime waiver as long as he qualifies (which will be life for him)... Keep digging... it is all worth it, but enjoy your time with her too. Take time to do little things. I actually am shy in new situations, but push myself to do things and it is easier for me when it is related to my son... going to sports or activities etc. I volunteer for committees so I can be where he is.
