I am luckier than a lot of families here because we live in a town with a Shriners' hospital and so get many services for free, but only certain diagnoses are covered there. My Shriners' PT told me we wouldn't get much from school services when she aged out of Early Intervention because Hannah is moving so well. I find it baffling that success doesn't deserve more success, but it doesn't, so we'll be going to Shriners hospital for extra services and praying they never close. You are right, we should all be pushing for more services for the underserved in our communities.GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-47166262111198917502011-01-26T11:14:33.744-05:002011-01-26T11:14:33.744-05:00Excellent post!

But alot of programs are based on how far the child is behind; the farther behind the more help you get. it seems to make since but when you as a parent wish for your child to do poorly so he can get the most help. it just feeels wrong in your gut.

Your photos of him are most telling. <br /><br />"One at a time" - that is how I think it happens - for things to change - which I believe will. Despite the ongoing need for services to improve, what is available now is so much more and better than even 20 years ago. I just watched the Temple Grandin movie. So much insight is available in that fabulous movie! <br /><br />Thanks again!
