[QUOTE="hersheyb79, post: 418951, member: 11482"] Right now I just don't know HOW to get the help. We have tried to find a neuropsychologist, but when I try to find one that is on our insurance none come up with-in a 100 mile radius (we live in Denver, so very urban). We just don't know how to go about finding him the help. The way our insurance is set up we have to pay our deductible fully before they will pay anything, and then we have to pay 20% of the rest. So it's hard when you have 4 kids (especially when you have more than one child with needs) to get the help for him. Right now, he's getting help from the community mental health people, and they aren't charging us. But to be 100% honest, his therapist is WORTHLESS. Today he did nothing, I tried to trigger DS, and of course it didn't work (he's really not bad and can calm easily when there are no other children in the room) so I think this guy thinks I'm making this stuff up. He just gives me stupid hand outs each week. He's the only one who will see us and will write off what the insurance doesn't pay. Last week I mad probably 30 phone calls and emails begging for evaluations. Begging for help and letting them know that we really can't afford to pay much out of pocket. I got a call back today from a center that does autism evaluations, so I will have to call them back Monday and see if they might be willing to work with us. husband recently cut his work hours back (ie, our only source of income) so that he can be home to help me more. It's great in that I will have help, but it also cuts our income, so we have a harder time finding help. I just need to find him help. At the point he is at, I agree that he can't start school. I'm going to have to figure something out. Right now we're looking at homeschooling or cyber schooling next year to give us some time to find help. [/QUOTE]
