[QUOTE="buddy, post: 468094, member: 12886"] Hi! Welcome. I am single and had to stop work due to difficult child issues too. It is a constant battle. Mine is certified as disabled. Call your county and ask for a childhood disability caseworker (or similar sounding words, every county is different-some with more options some with less but you can call and find out at least). These are not child protection workers or anything like that. They have resources to monies like family grants and other options for kids with disabilities. Some are income related, some are not. I would suggest you look up ARC online and see if there is a local chapter. Even if not, their national chapter has lots of info on applying for ssi for kids with disabilities. They are great advocates to use for many issues including school. I love Malika's post. I do nearly all of what she is doing and since mine is now 14 I have done lots of others and we have in-home supports hired too. All paid by his insurance thank heaven. (he is on MA and has a disability waiver) If you can get your hand on the books mentioned, please do so. They really do help. I re-read them over the years because you use the tools from the perspective of where your difficult child is at that time. It is overwhelming at times, and I am so happy to be here and hope you find the same kind of comfort. Please check in often, Buddy [/QUOTE]
