Carla RE: Respite and PDD-NOA / AU Eligibility

[Guest guest]

Carla - This is the website for the ARC of Texas. They sometimes can

offer money to help pay for respite care. If you want to email me

offline, I might be able to give you more info based upon where you are

located.

And the school refusing to recognize the PDD-NOS dx can be addressed.

Let me know what area / district you are in. I have very successfully

advocated for several families to get the AU eligibility and the

services that go with that. Email or call me and I'll try to help.

And currently, I get the daily digest so if anyone has questions - email

me at either of the addresses below.

Amy,

I am not sure what ARC is, could you explain it to me, please? Also,

the

school is refusing to recognize the PDD-NOS diagnosis. His teachers are

great

and they pull the teacher from the Autistic room into to help them some,

but the

coordinator for our ARD said that she can not accept the diagnosis. The

OT

is also not going to help us. She (OT) had said that his eval went

great, but

then I explained to her that he has memorized the eval procedure and

even

before they tell him what to do, he has already done it!

Thank you

Carla
