[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow PP, are you having a bad day? OP just asked a simple question - LISS in DC or no LISS. Thank goodness there is nice people like OP who adopt SN kids.[/quote] New person. This was really not a yes or no question. It was posted with the assumption that Marylanders are simply handed LISS funds to pay for things like camp. That is so far from the truth. Our family has NEVER gotten any LISS money, ever, via the LISS lottery. Maryland, which is a wealthy state, made a choice not to fund Medicaid/SSDI for kids. So that's why Maryland gives out (if you could call it that) LISS funds. If we had SSDI for our child, we could devote the massive monthly amounts of money we pay toward therapies to paying for camp, and we wouldn't have to enter some stupid #@&#^! lottery twice a year to try to pay for camp. Can you imagine this is an effective way to run a social service system?[/quote]
