Floortime And Early Start Denver Model Financing Through Regional Center And Insurance - California
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi. It looks like behavioral health treatment (particularly ABA method) is mentioned in insurance policies. I wasn't able to figure out whether relatively newer therapies like Floortime or Early Start Denver Model are covered by the insurance or not. Also, there seems to be cases where regional centers cover Floortime or Early Start Denver Model services. Is there anyone who has success with getting finances for one of these 2 therapies through insurance or regional centers. Any input is very… read more

If you are in the regional system then you just need to ask your case worker. They’ll look at your child’s progress and possibly approve. The regional center is great I recommend getting an intake… read more

The Early Intervention preschool that DD attended from 2 until 3 1/2 used ESDM. It pulls from the best of the various approaches (ABA, DTT, Floortime, TEACCH, etc.) and DD really responded to it.

Recess Accommodations
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Do any of you with elementary aged kids have IEP accommodations for recess? Jesse is six and is starting to get in trouble at recess. It is just too much for him - sensory overload. He is active and needs an outlet and recess is important, but not sure of any steps to take. Thanks.

Here are some things we tried: first, the recess personnel need to be aware that he might need extra help in socializing so that they can step in when it gets "hairy"; second, our child's school SLP… read more

Does Anyone Have Any Experience With The Early Start Denver Model?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter is 27 months and has just started with our state's Early Intervention program. Because she is very high functioning, they only recommended that she see an developmental interventionist for one hour once a week. I'm not sure that this is doing enough to help her improve her social skills and decrease her intense fear of and reaction to new places, so I'm looking for something with solid scientific proof that my husband and I can practice at home.

I've heard good things so far about… read more

Inpatient Therapy
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My Son is 32 yrs. old and was diagnosed two years ago as being on the spectrum. He also suffers from depression. The Drs. have suggested inpatient therapy to deal with both issues. Does anyone have insights into inpatient centers that are not also addiction centers?

A MyAutismTeam Member

Many inpatient centers also treat addiction. I’ve yet to figure that one out. My only guess is funding, doctor availability and/or lack of facilities/resources. There are facilities that treat only… read more

Summer Off Programs
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son turns 3 at the end of June, and ages out of Early Intervention just in time for summer break. He will start inclusion preschool in the fall, with therapies in the self-contained room. He is considered "mild."
I don't want him to go the whole summer without therapies or socialization. Any suggestions of programs or classes he should take or do?
Thanks in advance!

A MyAutismTeam Member

For the socialization end you can check with your states DDS services, Department of Developmental services and see what programs they have going on for the summer. You would have to do some paperwork… read more

Bed Wetting
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son is six and has been off and on bed wetting since he was potty trained at 3.5 yrs old. We have tried everything from cutting off drinks two hrs before bed and adding a water proof cover to putting him in big kid pull ups. He was just diagnosed with ASD. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to handle this so that we don’t have to replace his bed every few months?
