Re: Cindy/ SPD-vestibular dysfunction/sensory learning

I looked into the Sensory Learning Program here in Boulder Colorado. It all

sounds great and they wanted to do a trial session to see how Chase would

respond, but the cost is EXTREMELY out of reach for us at this point in time

(about $4,000). If you do not mind me asking, what was the total cost of the

program? And do you know of any way to get reimbursed by insurance?

Thanks,

Kris

The total cost was $2550. Insurance will not cover as

of yet but some have used Autism Support Funds or MR

Funds to cover it. Ask them if they have any

scholarship programs available. Here in Georgia, we

have one that a parent started. You never know, they

may have something like that in Boulder. They are,

afterall, the home base. Sensory Learning was the

turning point for my son. I owe a large majority of

his progress to the program. I'm curious, where did

the $4000 figure come from?

I did not get the $4,000 quote from the Sensory learning Center, it came

from our Early Intervention OT (second hand info) that sees a family that

did the program in Boulder a short time ago with great success. All I know

is that even $2550 is beyond our ability right now. Both my son's, Chase

4.2yo and Gage 2.11yo have DSI and I was preparing to look in to a

scholarship to see if we can qualify for some assistance or if there is a

way to get reimbursed through insurance so we can proceed with the program.

I have held off on the initial trial session until I know it is a sure thing

(don't won't to get our hopes up and then be turned down).

Some people in our area are using Autism Support Funds

to help pay for it. Also, check into scholarships.

Are you wanting to do both of your sons. They might

give you a break if you do both. I know a couple here

who did that and got a financial break. There is one

other funding source I will check into for you and get

back with you. E-mail me privately if you need.
