[QUOTE="buddy, post: 529833, member: 12886"] PCA is a Personal Care Attendant, they work with people of all disabilities to help with going to activities, dr. appointments, social things, hanging out at home, whatever is needed. Not a well paid position but there are some great ones out there. Depends where you live, your insurance, if the county would offer a way to provide it, many options.... I work with the county, many people do and it is not CPS. It is the disability unit and they provide a case manager (in our county they also divide it by mental health versus some of the other disabilities but they all provide financial options and support). So since my son has such behavioral issues (and you would be in the same category if here)... his level is bumped up... For him he has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (traumatic brain injury due to a brain mass/surgery) waiver on his MA and it is at a higher level due to the behavioral issues and the high chance that he then would cost the county a lot more money (of course it is said that it is to help HIM to stay out of residential living/hospital care)....if he had to go into a residential living situation of any kind. So, we have Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers which are Independent Living Skills workers who hare trained to work on goals and are supervised by a behavioral company. They are educated at a higher level to start with and then have lots of training like crisis prevention and management, how to restrain safely (but it still has to be in a plan to use it unless an emergency) and how to teach appropriate behaviors. Every county, state is different but I suppose if you dont ask you wont know... it can take lots of phone calls though, and with all of your kids you are no stranger to that! (even if she goes to Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), that could still be a goal to work on since she is likely to visit or stay with you sometimes I suppose....) Hoping the best for you.....
