[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 747803, member: 18958"] The medical school where we have gone (for different things) does not require insurance, but goes by a sliding scale. When we went to the Children's Hospital Child Development Center my son had government benefits, but I believe Childrens' Hospitals have as flexible payment arrangements, as is possible. And I think the social workers might help you with the insurance. The other possibility I am thinking of is if you are near a major metropolitan area. There are agencies called "Jewish Family Service." You don't have to be Jewish. They will help anybody. They have social workers on staff. I wish I'd done this. A social worker would work with you, to provide support, problem solving, and to help you access services. They might even be able to find funding or to send you somewhere where you would get low fee services. When my son was a toddler he needed significant work for a language delay with a language therapist. I got a scholarship for us, through Daughters of the Golden West. (I'd never heard of them.) But I wrote up our situation and they presented it to their regional meeting and I got a grant of a couple of thousand dollars to pay. That was 30 years ago almost so it was a lot of money! There are all sorts of groups that are willing to help. It's just a question of connecting with them. You say here your child has not connected with the therapist. Is there the possibility of changing therapists until you find one with whom he makes a connection? [/QUOTE]
