My child is being left behind by Ocean County EI

[Guest guest]

I have a 2 1/2 year old Autistic son that is not receiving the

services he needs to be successful and make sufficient progress. He

has waited for 5 months to receive Occupational Therapy and was only

allowed one day a week although his Developmental Pediatrician, our

regular Pediatrician and his Pediatric Neurologist recommended 2-3

sessions a week.

His therapists & doctors have maintained from the start in May 07

that he needed Occupational Therapy because his lack of it affects

his progress in everything else. He finally has a wonderful

Occupational Therapist that is willing to makeup all (17 if one day a

week or 34 for two days a week) of the sessions that he missed while

waiting and they're refusing to allow him anymore than 4 makeup

visits.

Does this seem right? Anybody else having the same kind of

problems? I hear there are several kids just in the Brick, Point

Pleasant area that are having the same problems. Please feel free to

contact me because I am not getting an adequate response from our

service coordinator or her supervisor. I know if its more than one

mom complaining they'll have no choice but to take notice. Our kids

are being left behind and its not okay!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
