I must have mistyped...I meant brain injury and autism. He has county case management for disabled children. They have different departments around here.  Anyone can request it,  it's not cps or even his M.A. worker ...its separate. They help secure funding,  coordinate programs,  etc. Before q got a waiver he had a "family grant " that gave me funds to do things insurance wouldn't ever pay for.  He then got a wsiver and they help plan with me how to use the funds.  This year when I moved they obtained funds to pay my deposit and first month's rent.  I do not get any regular govt assistance,  just got that because of Q's situation and her connections.  She comes to meetings etc if I ask. Through the waiver they helped us get I hire a behavior management company.  They come to our house and take q out too.  It is like a PCA but they have behavior goals to teach and document. 

Is that clearer?  Here they divide the kids up by Disability somewhat so he used to be served by the dev.disability workers but now is served by the traumatic brain injury workers.  Who you get to actually work with your child is not tied to that diagnosis.though.   they have a separate mental health group that we dont use.
