Sorry, if this has been asked before.
My son (he will be three soon,) is currently having speech and occupational therapy, but I would really like him to have ABA Therapy, as I have heard that it works really well for children with autism.
I have BlueCrossBlueShield Of Illinois health insurance, which I get through my husband's employer. They have told me, that they don't cover this, so I feel at a dead end. The only options I have, are to go with another insurance provider who do cover this… read more
Thanks elyse449123!
I live in Florida but his insurance is BlueCrossBlueshield Of Illinois.
I will look into these groups and see if they can help. :)
My son's OCD has gotten worse. Even when on medication. He will lick people, like the floor, try to make his food touch the floor, randomly throw items, scratch people and bang his head.

I want to brainstorm. Next year my oldest is going into Jr. High. He is currently has an autism IEP and is in a mainstream classroom 95% of the time, but he isn't doing well. He has a lot of troublesome behaviors, problems with bullying, poor grades, and incomplete work. He needs a lot of redirection to get any work done and he struggles the most during transition times.
Now I have a few options for Jr. High that I am exploring (aide in class, special autism classroom, homeschooling, or… read more

We moved to our district last Spring. We were surprised that therapeutic placement was recommended for our son this year for Kindergarten.. He is verbal, though not fully communicative or conversational. He accomplished his pre academic skills by age 4, and has nice play skills. We were told that he does not sit at the table long enough, does not play with kids and look at them, and has some "aggressive" behavior. We chose an ABA school that changed the program and had a complete staff turnover… read more
I am never in favor of a place that restrains children, to me that screams of lack of experience. My daughter is nonverbal and was self Injourous and we would never allow the restraints. We got her in… read more
I took my son to children's mercy and they called the hotline. I have done everything in my power to try and keep my son safe. I have put foam puzzles all across his floor fenced in the back yard and now he has a helmet ordered before and of this happened. They keep telling me there's no way he could of put those bruises there himself. And not one person has attempted to get to know my son to see his head banging or meltdowns. He is 3 and is getting stronger. Now my son is with my mom and I have… read more
I am sending a ton of prayers!! This is off subject but, when my NT 15 yr old came up with a ton of bruises (she helped her sis w/dog business..nothing too major)..the dr (on call..not her… read more
I figured it out thanks, Im still very new to the site haha :)
I agree you may see some difficulties at first and the child at act out but just let it run its course. The child is going to be asked to do things they don't want to do so it is sometimes rough at… read more
