First time posting, I am so overwhelmed and stressed. My son (3) is one of the happiest and brightest kids I know. Due to developmental delays he was in a birth-3 program, and then transitioned to special education through the school district once he turned 3. He receives services at his current daycare and they visit him a couple times a week. Recently we’ve been having escalation of his elopment. Trying to climb the fence to leave or leave the classroom or even the leave building. Our solution was to enroll him in ABA support.
He has not yet been diagnosed with Autism, he has been labelled a gestalt language processer, and has other behaviors that lead us to believe he has Autism, and he is getting evaluated this Septemeber. We’ve already had a rough go of it as this is his 5th daycare over the past year. The 1st one we ended because we had issues with his care, the 2nd and 3rd in home daycares terminated his enrollment within 3 weeks, so we decided to look into daycare centers instead. His 4th daycare was good but when he turned 3 and he was required to be within the city we lived in to continue services.
So this is his 5th daycare, he’s been at for almost 2 months, and easily has been the best one yet. They work so well with him and have so many physical activities that keep him really engaged. However, because of his elopment I received an email yesterday that they will pause his care until he can receive ABA. When I finished my renewal of my childrens state health insurance today, I found out they were kicked off of health insurance due to our higher income. Now I’m without insurance to get him the ABA he needs to be allowed back at school. I am working on getting my kids on my insurance at work but its like $550 per paycheck and I’m not sure how I can afford that.
Anyways I just came here to vent because I am so incredibly overwhelmed and I cant stop crying. Im looking for support.
