Your respite provider will be totally dependent on the individual that is assigned. Respite will be provided through a contracted agency (HSC Home Health, Linac, etc.) - though most likely HSC Homecare.  You can ask to meet the service provider ahead of time. If you like that person, work with them - even if they leave their agency for another, you can request a change in agency to keep the same person. You get 168/hrs every 6 months. Use them. :)

You may also qualify for a behavioral aide in the home - usually 4 hrs/day or so to help modify behaviors.  Your pediatrician will have to complete the behavioral aide request form.

You will be assigned a Care Manager. Some are better and more knowledgeable than others. You can always ask to be reassigned if you aren't pleased.

I don't know your chilld's dx, but ABA is covered. Your pediatrician would need to fill out the request for ABA evaluation.

Neuropsych testing is covered. There is a form to request that as well.

Good luck![/quote]
