[QUOTE="katya02, post: 376871, member: 2884"] Has your daughter been given a formal diagnosis of bipolar? It might be possible to get her MA (Medicaid) based on diagnosis. We did this with our easy child 1 and difficult child 1 years ago (based on diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder/early onset schizophrenia and on early onset bipolar) and it opened doors to services for them. We also did not qualify for most things due to finances but they got services because of the diagnosis-based MA. When they turned 18 they were dropped from the system (Grrrr) and now easy child 1 has to have private insurance and difficult child 1 has his own MA due to low income - but it helped at the time. We applied through the Intermediate Unit in our area that was affiliated with the schools - maybe you could inquire through your school district or look up county or state social services and call someone? The program wasn't described on any of our local service provider web pages, it was a sort of open secret among providers, so you may have to ask specifically for it. If you can get her MA based on diagnosis while she's still a minor then maybe some services will become available. [/QUOTE]
