Private Care
After finding out that the wait for public speech therapy was 12 months we decided to take my son to private care in the mean time. We do have minimal insurance $350 per year and found out our first visit would cost $315 dollars so I hope we do not need any more visits this year. This means that we will have to do a lot of the work at home because we can only afford to go once per month at $125. My son is worth the time though and we are fortunate enough to have an appointment next week. I am also beginning to realize how hard it must be for parents who don't have insurance this entire ordeal has made me more aware of the diffrent concerns families may have when accessing resources in our community. Our son also has an audiology appointment this week and an ENT appointment to see about tubes in January. I will post the results of all this when we know. I am also going to try and locate some financial resources and post them as well. If you know of any additional information please feel free to leave a comment.

Thank -you for continuing to fill us in on how you are managing with these issues. My heart goes out to you and your family. It must be very difficult to struggle with the pressures of school work and family life especially with these added pressures. The semester is almost over and then you will have more time available to focus solely on your son. Good luck on exams. I wish you and your family the best. I plan to stay tuned for next update.
