[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 50443, member: 3211"] Our services are through mental health - and billed to medicaid, just as in Janet's neck of the woods. We had our meeting - three people came and it went okay. I was so nervous - and admitted it to them upon their arrival. They were all very nice - and non-judgmental, just as Linda said they would be. We filled out lots and lots and lots of paperwork - and they left some for me to finish. We have another meeting next Wednesday at 3:00 to fill in the medicaid paperwork and for difficult child to meet the 'Skill Builder' assigned to him. She will meet with him once or twice a week to work on coping / peer skills, etc. There is respite available - not sure the frequency, etc. yet. They said they would have more information next week. Crisis team plan will be put into place, but they said they never go to a home during a crisis - they attempt to de-escalate the situation over the telephone. Don't know how effective that would be when difficult child is in meltdown mode, but I guess we'll see. They even said they would help us navigate the SSI journey. All in all - a good meeting. It sounds like we can take the services we need and waive the ones we don't. So far, so good. It will take me some time to let go of some of the 'control' I think I've got on the situation, but I think with the extra help, it will relieve some stress - and can only help difficult child become more successful in the 'real world'. Thanks again to everyone who posted. [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
