[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What monthly stipend are you talking about?? Who gets a monthly stipend. Confused. I'm an DC and pay for all my own camps and therapies. Don't think we qualify for medicaid. [/quote] OP here. People who adopt kids with special needs from foster care can get a monthly subsidy until the kid is 18 or 21, depending on the state. The state we're adopting from doesn't pay a subsidy until the adoption is finalized, which will be many months from now (after summer camp or, very possibly, hiring a summer nanny with special ed experience), and it's not very large. We will be ok without LISS, but with the therapies Medicaid won't cover (or have loooong waitlists for the few providers that accept it), more expensive childcare (he can't make it in the school's aftercare right now), time off work, etc. I figured if LISS was an option I'd try for it. Thanks for letting me know it doesn't exist in DC--if I ever hear otherwise I'll let other folks know! [/quote]
