[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 25542"] According to my local representative (John Peterson), Ohio is one of 14 states that does NOT require insurance companies to provide mental health coverage equal to physical health coverage. He has been fighting to bring change to that unsuccessfully for years. (He's also on the Education Committee. This guy is on all the right committees [img]:wink:[/img] ) Therefore, mental health coverage really leaves a lot to be desired. My daughter's health insurance covers 20 visits per year for mental health. That includes therapist, psychiatrist, neuropsychologist and anyone else we see related to mental health. There was a front page article in the Columbus Dispatch a few months ago about this topic. Families that have lost their homes trying to provide mental health care for their children (I'm one of those) and families that gave custody of their children over to the state - not for therapeutic foster care - but because they couldn't afford the care their child needed. Something to keep in mind. If you go to the Ohio Department of Education website, you can also find a listing for schools that were acknowledged for excellence in Special Education. My SD isn't one of them. [/QUOTE]
