[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 51377, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board but sorry you have to find us. In answer to your specific questions, I am unsure exactly how your specific state works but most states do have some form of waiver for kids with disabilities through the medicaid program so they can access funds to help pay for catastrophic medical care. You might also want to check into having him placed into the state psychiatric hospital in their teen unit. That is usually income based and they do a thorough job of testing and can recommend a long term residential placement if they think it is needed. If he has to go into residential, he can qualify for SSI on his own and then he would get medicaid which would help pay for the treatment. You can also contact the local mental health departments and ask for help from them. These are all the avenues that I would contact immediately in trying to access care. It takes banging on doors when a child is completely out of control. [/QUOTE]
