[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I deal with most of it. DH does submit OON claims to insurance, but if they get denied I'm the one that calls and works to fix the issue. DH also takes DD to the dentist and to one of her two weekly therapy appointments.

I take the lead on the administrative aspects of therapy and primary care. I find the therapists, communicate with the school about IEP services and accommodations and generally deal with scheduling.

One thing that has changed is DH has bought into the therapies. In the past he would hem and haw to try to stop them because it's not easy to take DD to them (and for us is relatively easy, just two appointments a week that we split). He was also very disengaged from the strategies the therapists recommended we implement at home. I think due to a lack of confidence. Now he is much more engaged and on board with that stuff. It helped to get a formal diagnosis and have the evaluator confirm the therapies are appropriate and supportive. With the administrative stuff the problem is DH gets overwhelmed with work and doesn't prioritize it so it never gets done.[/quote]
