Re: Re: Intro and Funding - one last thought

Something else - When my son was diagnosed, well, shortly after that, we almost moved to PA....they have a support system set up to help families with home therapy, medical, anything that seems to be a missing/gap service. I am still thinking about moving there in case things get worse here or won't move along fast enough to help us out.... I know someone who is moving to NJ for services..... Not that I want anyone to move or leave our beloved NE Ohio....(that sounded very patriotic - considering that I am not even a US citizen....not just yet....) <egerpatt@...> wrote: The other thing you can do is call the county and ask for a support administrator - they can help you, I think, with some costs - i wasn't sure if you have already pursued these funds or family resources only (FR will pay for some therapies and respite, some equipment)... Also, make sure you are on the waiting list for a medicaid waiver - there is a huge waiting list but one day your son will be next in line and qualify for lot and lots of supports, incl. medical, home therapy, speech and OT, assistive technology, anything and everything. They are trying to reform the waiver system right now so there may be changes to the wayswaivers would work, but this waiver I am talking about does have an income cap - everyone with a disability

qualifies (OK, I am not sure if everyone does, but individiuals with autism DO) - it's just the waiting,...... They are also working on the autism waiver now on the state level, which may start soon as a pilot program in selected counties - anyone has more information on this?
