I know several of my online and offline friends deal with kids who have special needs. I’m one of them. I’m writing an article for one of my clients, and I would love to hear your stories on the fiscal impact it’s made on your family. State paid? Medical Insurance? District paid? Out of pocket? Private care? I’m looking for the myriad of routes you’ve taken financially to provide special needs care to your child. Comment or email. Thanks!
I just spent 130 bucks on therapy stuff that they don’t have in the classroom. Owieeee! I’m desperate to help out my kid though. He’s having a rotten experience in Kindergarten.
We actually had to stop therapy at one point. It wasn’t working after 4 years, the doctor was unwilling to consider another diagnosis, and our budget was beyond strapped with $100 a visit (after insurance) and driving an hour one way each week.
We were just in a position to pay out of pocket for a new evaluation by an out of network provider, get a new and what I feel is a correct diagnosis, and begin the whole process all over again. Our insurance won’t cover everything so we will be applying for a medical card based on disability for our son.
Feel free to e-mail me if you need more info.
