[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, just got a call from KKI and all services were covered by insurance except the behavioral psychologist which was $500 per visit. I asked if we could do the docs, nutritionists, and speech or OT that were covered but not the behavioral psychology. We can not. It is a "complete system" and you have to participate in all elements. I understand that, but when you are expecting frequent visits, it is just too much ($590/visit including the other co-pays). I guess that I don't need to worry about the controversy about KKI's feeding program because we can't afford it!

[b]I cant find much about Georgetown's program[/b], could someone please post more info? Names, contact etc...

BTW why is KKI's feeding program barbaric pp? Why is ABA controversial? Just heard of it for the first time on another thread on this forum.

Thanks![/quote]

When we signed up for Gtown over a year ago there was a 2 month wait list.  They put us on the list right away when we called, but when they called back in a few weeks with an appointment, we needed to have our pediatrician send them a referral for them to hold the appointment.  Here is the link to the page (click on the appointments tab to get the direct dial):

We met with Sheila Skinner if I recall correctly who was great but she didn't think DD was a candidate for feeding therapy (DD just starting self-feeding when we had the appointment) so I can't tell you anything more. [/quote]
