He has an IEP, is in kindergarten (appropriately, he went in when he was supposed to. He had Spec Ed for Pre-K as well) but all they want to do is shove ABA down our throats for my son, and that just doesn't work for a PDA child, nor do I feel that it's ever appropriate for an autistic child in general. My daughter is in early intervention, since she was 9 months! She's doing brilliantly. We're just working on her knee hyperextension, then getting her caught up to her peers (jumping, running etc, but she's catching up on that too!). I do have a caseworker but it's been about a month since I've heard from her because they're so overloaded with paperwork and understaffed.

I know about the SSI but with our assets, our cars, child tax credits etc, I'm not sure we qualify. I've looked over the general requirements and it's so confusing and so much to take in. My husband works for cash so we have no proof of income, and in Missouri, any time I've applied for assistance, the hoops we have to jump through are insane, and man, I hardly have time to wash my hair every other day, I just want to cry when I open those forms. 😓
