Hi there! The insurance will not pay for it. However if you reach out to your local Reginal center and provide a denial letter they will get it for him. You can also reach out to the district and ask for one. That’s how Ashy got hers through the district it transports with her from home to school and from school to home. I have several of videos with this information. Ashy is 11 yrs and is non verbal. 💙
Christian isn’t enrolled in school currently so I don’t think the district will provide him one unfortunately. I am looking at our local support group as they have an iPad scholarship program. 😆💙
Surprisingly I didn’t even know what that was until I googled it just now 😆 I have seen and heard a little about it but never have fully looked into it.
@@ROCKNSTIMS I assumed he was doing school at home. Ashy started school services at home since she was 2. It might be different in NV. This was aside from ABA.
That makes me so mad for you girl!! Obviously the people you talked to on the phone are not the ones at fault, just the messengers, but its disgusting how insurances can be so grody and get awaY with it just to get out of spending money! Laws definitely should change, if they dont make insurance providers cover Essential Special Needs Equipment like a Speech Device, then that state needs a program that steps in to provide one free of charge. We are in the process now, our therapist and a kind of liaison team is deciding what loaner ti try first, and then we will start the process to finding his device for the next 3 to 5 years. I hope everything works out, things like this really get me man. The painting is beautiful ❤
Yes! I always know he wants my attention. I don’t always know what exactly he wants tho 😔. Sometimes I get it loud and clear , like when I’m talking to his therapist and he’s been waiting by the door for a min. He will walk up to me and do the deep stare near my face thing and I know he is telling me he’s ready to go 😂💙
Love it how you guys all celebrate Valentine’s Day. It isnt such a big thing here. More for couples but you guys involve everyone that’s so sweet. I can’t believe he was denied. I wish those who make these decisions spend a week with us to see what it’s really like.
I'm a speech therapist... devices can be expensive but imo they are worth it. Insurance is always going to fight against it and schools are really reluctant to give good devices. FWIW my opinion is that a device that uses lamp (language acquisition thought motor planning) seems to be very very effective. Lamp is not for everyone.. but it has significant benefits over other programs.. Not cheap.. I think it's like 400 dollars and I think it goes on sale 1x a year. I'm rooting for you guys
You could try the lamp app it works great for my daughter. The app is about 350 but it was worth every penny. The school system provided it at first after I found it worked I purchased it for her home iPad.
I’m new to. You’re channel and I’m a autism mom I have a 4 year old nonverbal and I’m looking to homeschool my son. We just received our AAC discernment after 1 year of trying. What was your process on homeschooling
We pulled him his school and filled out paperwork . One form stating our intent to homeschool, and the other detailing what we would be learning. Once they received that we were fine to start.
For homeschool, my son has ABA Monday through Friday speech Wednesday Thursday and OT Tuesday. And he doesn’t sleep through the night. And they still work t expect that
You can always buy the device and the Proloque2Go program and than put it on your taxes so you can get the money back. Also school can provide a device with the program installed already on it
We are on our own in Ontario. We had funding but conservative current Ontario government pulled funding. Actually he is destroying the whole school system too. So I'm trying to fill in the void with therapy. Very hard
Ours would but speech would not sign so we just got a iPad and tobbi dynovox just get others to work with him on it and finally after a year of fighting we got his school to start with it . But Covid reStriction’s are causing limited school days
How do you like the software ? Is dynovox easy to use? I hate how much fighting parents have to do to get school support for every little thing it feels like 😔
@@ROCKNSTIMS we love it check out our channel I will do a video sharing my sons tablet tomorrow maybe. He is 5 years old an verbal but no functional language

And they also provided the app strictly for communication is called TouchChat!

I know it makes me so frustrated 😠
Oh yay! That’s awesome. Hope you guys find the best fit 💙
Christian painting and smiling made my night..que chulo
Christian did such a good job painting! Loved seeing how happy and engaged he was. 🥰💛
My son does what Christian does.... when he gets real near our faces and wants to look at us in the eyes he usually wants our attention.
Yes! I always know he wants my attention. I don’t always know what exactly he wants tho 😔.

@@ROCKNSTIMS hahaha ohhh yes same here! Especially when its time to go
Painting never fails 😍 great video!!!

In trinidad we get a small monthly grant to cover meds and some private school or therapy. No device. We bought a tablet and pay for apps on playstore
Hey that’s really cool! 💙
Happy early valentines you guys ❤️💓❤️💓

Where I live in California they tell me that kids on the spectrum aren’t eligible
Eligible for what?

Definitivamente el verde fue el color más divertido para él 😄💚
