Stixrud does a great job (and it therefore takes time to get seen), but insurance only pays for medical stuff (which I think is ADHD) not learning disability stuff. At least that was my experience with BC/BS.

You could call and ask.

Not surprised about the no-new-referrals. Mental illness rates are skyrocketing while the number of therapists is dwindling in many areas.

I would suggest posting on Kids with SN forum - there are always lots of great suggestions there.

We had a great experience with therapists at the Jewish Social Services Agency in Rockville. Sliding scale fees. And we aren't Jewish.
