[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr Black does not take insurance.

The Neuropsych will run $4400.  Not sure about Peers, 2-3k?[/quote]

OP. We cannot afford this! There must be people who do this who take insurance? Does anyone know?

It will be cheaper than sending her off to college expecting her to fail.

The problem with "you have to let your child fail, to allow them to succeed" does not work when the child has SNs.  OP DD does not have the tools to cope.  For instance, being able to recognize when one needs help and asking for help.[/quote]

She is an adult. Don't infantilize her just because she is special needs. I have a kid with an ASD. I follow my own advice. He is allowed to push as far as he thinks he can go, even if I don't thik he can do it.  Sometimes he is right and I am wrong.  Sometimes I am right. You have to treat kids with ASDs as adults when they become adults. You have to let them try. If you don't, you're going to end up with a pissed off kid living in your basement. [/quote]

The kid is going to fail and end up living in the basement.  OP's DD has no diagnosis and weren't taught any coping skills to deal with her issues.  Can't even pack.  Recipe for disaster.[/quote]
