[quote=Anonymous]OP here - People have a lot of doubts about what we’re doing so I’m back to provide some more information.

We’re at a private school so no IEP or free services. We do have the learning specialists and smaller class sizes that come with private and they’ve been helpful.

We’ve been doing therapy for two years and it’s been extremely helpful for her and for us. She’s gone from intolerable, disruptive, aggressive, impulsive behavior to good behavior. She’s still getting value from therapy and not ready to stop yet.

She needs OT for fine motor. She’s almost 9 and can’t use a zipper or buttons. Her handwriting is very bad and her work is messy.

She needs tutoring twice a week because she’s a year behind in one of her subjects.

Of everything - probably therapy is what we could most likely drop and it’s the most expensive ($250 a week). But she’s still getting value and it’s helped so much that I don’t want to quit yet until she’s ready. But it would make a huge difference to figure out how to get the therapy and the OT covered by insurance. We have a high deductible plan so OON doesn’t matter once we hit our deductible. I’m not sure how to get it reimbursed though - what kind of documentation we need or if we need a Rx for the therapies.

Thanks for the help and please don’t hate me that we have the resources for private school and therapy. We save elsewhere and are lucky to have two good salaries. Honestly I stay in my very demanding and stressful job because it has afforded us the ability to pay for what she needs. [/quote]
