[quote=Anonymous]My three year old son was diagnosed in November so we've had the diagnosis for about six months.  I've been using it to get him the services he needs and coming up against a brick wall.  His school teacher didn't think that the preschool autism PAC program was an appropriate environment and said No to transferring him there.  She said he's more social than the kids in the PAC program and the non-cat class is more appropriate. So I decided to keep him there and found some private ABA therapy for him.  Insurance covers hardly anything, even with the diagnosis and Virginia mandate.  Out of $1100 monthly costs they give us $42.  We can only afford 4 hours a week.  The good news is that he's made great progress with ABA that we're just not seeing at school.  I mentioned this to the school teacher and we're meeting to revisit the possibility of transferring him to the PAC.  A PAC teacher also came out and observed.  She had reservations, the issue was brought up again about him being more social than the other autistic kids.  So we're meeting again next week to talk about it.  I just need my son to get the services he needs, I'm having the hardest time even with a diagnosis.  [/quote]
