Question about ABA, etc.

[Guest guest]

The school pyschologist told me yesterday that my 3.9 year old son has PDD-NOS

(he also has some serious sensory issues that the school did not address). I

have my ARD tomorrow and after that, we are moving to the San Angelo area due to

my dad's death this summer (we want to be close to my mom). So, basically, the

school that conducted the psychological evaluation does not have to carry out

what they recommend.

I guess my question leads into another (but happens a lot, right?) My first

question is how does one access ABA therapy other than paying for it out of

pocket, either in home or at a special school? Does insurance ever pay for it?

And is it offered through the public school system here in Texas? Does my son

even need it? I'm just curious because I read so much of people going into debt

for their children and I am all for doing whatever I need for my son, but I am

ALREADY in debt. You have to have a diagnosis to qualify for CLASS and all

they government programs that you have to wait 10 years for, right? Does

PDD-NOS count?

Thanks for your help!
