[b][quote]Being able to get the Medicaid Waiver for her immediately, rather than being on the wait list for years, is the single biggest criteria for a child with your daughter's needs.[/b] The difference financially between what the waiver would cover for her needs, and what you'd pay for without it, is staggering. Especially since you say you may need to keep her home more often than not because of getting sick so easily. If there's no wait for the Waiver in DC, that's your answer. Then work the school side of it from  there.[/quote]

I totally agree with this. For this reason, you do NOT want to live anywhere in VA--VA has a very long waiting list, and ranks next to last on the list of all states when it comes to Medicaid services. It's a shame, because VA has lots more to offer--great schools, hospitals, therapies, etc.--but I would not recommend it for your family. I personally would look into MD's waiting list situation, since MoCo has better schools and other services for special-needs families than DC.
