[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 402126, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]DF, are you getting a waiver for services? That would dictate the dollar amount being spent annually. Once we knew that amount our team broke down the services available for the tweedles. Our number one item was respite; husband & I knew we could handle anything if we knew that respite was coming. At first we had 2 respite weekends a month. We were given PCA (now it's home respite), Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) (independent living skills training) & in home therapy. Keep in mind this is extremely intrusive so I would ask for anything that would take difficult child out in the community. Saying the above, this all depends on what the team recommends & how the services are alloted. Some services are more costly than others. Definitely be prepared for this meeting with a parent report. Have any & all documentation for all crisis calls, hospitalizations, school behaviors issues, etc. If you can have a letter from psychiatrist & therapist explaining the need for this or that service. I know there is a thread somewhere in the archives about how I requested & rec'd services & setting them up. Each staffing meeting I attend I also focus on the positives; it's real important for me & I think the team appreciates that not everything is negative. Good luck & keep us updated.
