[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Low-income kids don't suffer quite as much as middle-class kids, though.[/b] Almost all low-income kids have Medicaid which provides PT, OT, speech therapy, etc. Are those services provided the best available? No, but it is something. What really hurts the low-income kids is not having support at home. I used to work in a VA school system with a large population of low-income families. The kids who thrived the most were those who had supportive parents to also go over therapies with the kids at home and do extra work. It's pathetic that not all kids are eligible for Medicaid in the US. Private insurance that so many middle-class moms and dads have through their jobs either covers no extra services or very few sessions, like under 10. [/quote] Do you ... hear yourself? You clearly have no experience with actually using medicaid.[/quote]
