[QUOTE="30 and searching, post: 223828, member: 6367"] in my opinion, Wisconsin used to be great with- providing services for autistic children. Sadly, a few years ago, budget cuts went into place, and that changed. My oldest son, who is severe, was greatly impacted. He was getting ABA therapy, about 25-35 hours a week. It varied because therapists would come and go... a lot were not able to deal with- my son's extreme aggression. These days he recieves 7 hours a week. The state put laws into place, saying basically older kids who have been recieving therapy for years, would only be covered for a certain amount of hours each week...( I think right now he can get 11, but he's short a therapist.) It pains me so much, cuz he has gotten much worse, all mainly happening after therapy hours were cut, 2003 or 2004... not sure but in that time frame. I think I have blocked out some of that period of time from my memory... dark days. [/QUOTE]
