[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 223025, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Both my son & daughter have CADI waivers which provide wrap services. In our case, those services include PCAs (personal care attendants), Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers (independent living skills), in home therapy, respite & home making if we can find a worker for that service. This took 9 months to put into place & we've now had in home or wrap services since the tweedles were 9. Saying all that, these services are very intrusive~ you have little to no privacy in your home depending the number of hours your receive weekly. (We are currently using 48 PCA hours weekly, 8 Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) hours every 2 weeks, respite on the 1st & 3rd weekends of the month & in home therapy 1.5 hours twice a week.) Our funding is through a CADI (community alternatives for disabled individuals) waiver. It took going to the state medical review board to have the tweedles assessed & determined to be disabled. All of our services are not determined on the diagnosis but on the GAF scores my children carry (GAF = global assessement of functioning). Saying all of the above, it might be more than difficult to obtain services of this type in your home at your difficult children age. If his functioning assessment is of the level that he cannot get himself up to go to school rather than will not you may have a better chance. That will be determined through many tests, evaluations & such & of course your difficult children history to this age. Good luck & keep us informed. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
