[QUOTE="buddy, post: 524159, member: 12886"] He does not need SSI to be on medicaid. They are different programs. One can support the others because of the evaluations but until you get a diagnosis. of a permanent disability you are likely to be denied, esp. for ssi. I WOULD however, call the county once you move and say you have a disabled child and you would like case management to help find funding etc. They should be able to help you apply for any program that will benefit you. If not, ask for someone to consult at least to help you find all the programs available. Usually there is at least a childhood mental health program, but I really suspect there is far more going on with your son and it just has not been sorted through yet. If you can, set up a full Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation while you are on the wait list for the neuropsychologist when you get there. Taking those results to the neuropsychologist then allows them to use those results in their analysis. The testing they do is not as indepth in those areas. As to the local term for his Special Education program the letters used do vary. Say that he is in a special education class for kids with emotional and behavioral disorders, (is that right???) sometimes it is called EBD, sometimes ED sometimes what you use etc... so uses the words not the letters. That should help. My son was in a CIP class (communication and interaction program) our district also had CID which was communication and interaction disorders...the difference was severity of communication disorder CID being far less verbal but BOTH were autism programs. The district I worked in just had an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) class. On the IEP the category he qualifies under is what will determine what type of program in the district and the level as well (level II, level III, level IV, etc... that says how much time is spent in a special education class...is it just gen ed with support, or is he in a class and leaves at times, or fully in a sp ed class but in a typical school or in a separate sp ed school.....the highest level is residential. So check to see how he qualified, was it emotional and behavior disorder, autism, developmental disorder, other health impairment etc.... (I think you are saying it is the em. behav. disorder, right?)..... It really IS frustrating that what is clearly so interfering with life is not severe enough to push people higher in lists....given all the kids are pretty much in chaos I guess it is somewhat understandable but it is still frustrating. Unless he is really hurting others, hurting himself, etc... it is not an emergency (to them). Of course as parents that is so hard to deal with because our lives are totally disrupted and sometimes falling apart. I hope you keep in contact with us at least to know that we get it, and can give you some support to keep hanging in there even though it is really tough. We mostly have no choice but to hang in there but we can be less lonely during the journey when others understand. I dont know how your son does with transition, but mine took a full 1.5 years to settle into our new home. Yours is much younger so may not be as rigid since you guys as parents are more his "home" but taking pictures and helping him transition might be worth it. [/QUOTE]
