Hello, all. I am seeking any tips, advice, suggestions, anything on how to manage ABA therapy with my three year old diagnosed with autism while also having another little one. I am nervous/worried about my two year old feeling neglected and want to make sure I’m fulfilling the needs of both.

His school provides bare minimum with therapy. Our kids (only) were once on Medicaid and it seemed to provide pretty decent therapy throughout the week, however, with a pay bump at my job, and my wife now going back to work, we are just over the threshold for Medicaid. Private therapy is something that I know is worth it but again cannot simply afford it. Meanwhile our son has gone on 25min tangents in his classroom to the point where the teachers are growing intolerant. What are options for us… read more

CA mandates that insurance not cap all therapies for autism. I'm not 100% sure on NJ, but I believe so, and believe NY has the $47k cap. I had only done primarily research on various states. If you… read more
I work in early childhood education and while we can’t diagnose we can screen and refer. I did our screenings on my daughter and with the results consulted for a screening and have been placed on a wait list. Unfortunately in our area the wait list is almost 2 years long. I am struggling to get support from those around us as it’s hard for them to believe she would have autism. My parents especially, I know it’s contributing to outdated views. Any advice?
Unfortunately there is a waitlist everywhere around here. It’s something we struggle with in our job as we often have to refer for further screenings. I know she has autism, I just find it hard… read more
