[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what kind of practice are you going to?  I would go to TLC where they are used to working with kids with SN and sensory aversions[/quote]

We are military and they sent us to Walter Reed.  What is TLC?  I'm ready to pay out of pocket if needed. [/quote]

Good suggestion but most people here don't understand the military system.  Walter Reed has good audiologists and just go back in a few months.  We had the same thing happen the first time.  They told us to get headphones and practice wearing them.  We did and went back. They have fun character headphones now to use with an iPad or kindle.  They are used to this. My child did it too at 3 but has had several tests since and no issue.  Just keep going back till they cooperate. The staff are generally really nice about it as it happens all the time.

Stay with Tricare so its in the system as that will help get the speech therapy approved. You may need to see a developmental ped. Our ped could never get the speech therapy approved but the developmental ped did and tricare was very generous about how much we could get - a few times a week with just a minor co-pay.[/quote]
