Last week Maddie's physical therapist and I were talking and she asked me what the limit on therapy was and I said 30....later during the day I called our insurance company and asked some additional information regarding her therapy allocations. It's 30 therapy sessions regardless of what kind of therapy so she can't do 30 speech and 30 occupational, just 30 for all. There is not an appeal process if a doctor determines that she requires that, so we're going to have to do more homework with her and have sessions every other week. I'm going to see if they do group sessions.
Also, on Friday I met with the Wake County Mental Health department to get Maddie signed up for the Medicaid CAP-MR-DD waiver which is a way to get Medicaid when you don't normally qualify due to income but are mentally retarded or developmentally delayed. If she is approved, there are currently over 1,000 on the waiting list and there is not currently any funding for the program this year or next so maybe when she's older, she'll be able to get this which would be great.
The next step is to see about signing up for Social Security or Medicaid, however I have to go to the SS office here to sign up which is annoying that I can't do it online.
We have her hearing evaluation tomorrow so hopefully she is just really focused and doesn't turn to all noises because she is focused and not due to hearing. I know she can hear b/c she startles when Victoria screams, it's the low tones that I'm not so sure about.
