Early Intervention Update

I finally spoke to Ryan's E.I. case worker on Monday. It appears that their speech and occupational therapists in our area have a waiting list. Here I thought the reason they weren't getting back with us was because it was taking a long time for the local hospital to get signed up to be a provider. She originally said that we would be looking at February before he could have speech and not sure when the O.T. would have an opening. She contacted another provider in the area and they do have an opening for speech and should be contacting me sometime this week or next. She did say once we get him on this other provider's schedule we will bug them for his O.T.

I don't expect to hear from them this week as it's Thanksgiving so I'm hoping to hear from the early next week. This particular provider dealt with Logan before he turned three so I know they are reliable. As long as we can get our feet in the door; we can bug them for the O.T. and I think they will find us a therapist pretty quickly. I can't afford to pay the hospital their full charge and the insurance should be running out soon. (only 20 visist per year; what a crock that is for the kids who really need it. I think the insurance companies need to revise their plans to meet the ever increasing need for our children)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
