[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, refuse Child Find - they will push you to use them first but if you refuse and say its not 1-1 services and group and you want your child in 1-1 intensive they will do it. But, they are required to push Infant and Toddler and Child Find first but its fine to refuse it.[/quote]

If a kid is 3.5, they are ineligible for infant & toddlers.  If you are offered ST through childfind, op, I would take them regardless of what form they take.  It’s about getting a foot in the door.[/quote]

You are missing the point.  OP can just do private speech.  If she can get the referral authorized they are very generous and offer several times a week.  There is no comparison to private and public services.  You don't take which ever, you do both or just trircare.  If you tell tricare you will go with child find you will get denied.

If you read the original post it says nothing about childfind or Mcps so you’re “point” is coming from left field.  Regardless it’s an odd one.  Never said not to do private or even to seek public services.  Op, if you ever get offered ST services through the public school, never turn them down.  Many people have to fight tooth and nail for them.[/quote]

Op here. Actually I have a follow question on this exact topic. Was going to start a new thread but may as well ask here. In Jan when my son turned three, I took him to Child Find. They said he was fine. I could take him back there and now that my kid is 3.5 and the issues are pretty obvious (excellent SLP at Walter Reed said plan on entering K with an IEP)  he’d probably qualify for county assistance. But obviously I want the private, and we seem well on our way to getting approved for that. I read on this forum once that Tricare wouldn’t pay if you are getting services from Child Find.  But my SLP said we could probably “double dip”. I just don’t want to jeopardize us getting the private and not sure it’s worth the risk to go back to Child Find at this critical juncture. [/quote]
