Just as the services Start they end

So it has been a while since my last post, mainly because working part time and then having inhome services for 8 hours a week. My time was really spent. It was time well spent. At first my son was restitant to the treatment because he didnt like then invading his space, but at the same time he was able to sit comfortably in the comfort of his own enviornment.

During this short time, my son was in charge of setting his own realistic goals. He was required to make his own chart and calendor so he could take ownership of his actions and was rewared or praised for the things he accomplished. What he didnt accomplish that week we carried it over and told him every goal is attainable some take more time then other.

One of the things that is upsetting is just as this program was starting to work, insurance deceided that he didnt need any more treatments because he has reached his maximum amount of care covered under the mental health behavior plan, which is so irritating. So right now I am left without a therapist and a pyschritrist for his meds, thankfully I have the rest of this month for his meds. So that is something I am going to have to work on getting.

However I did request from the therapist a treatment plan that I can follow until I can get addtional insurance to cover meds and his therapy. I am sticking to this plan as it is working. So far my son has been much more compliant and less resistant. We have included more exercise to his day, eliminated refined sugars and junk food. AS that was causing a lot of his irratablilty. Now we do still have some junk food in the house but it is placed in baggies in portions in which i know he can handle.

Next post I will cover breaking down the walls, as this is what has helped my son with moving forward.

My toes and eyes are crossed in hopes this continues as school is getting ready to start which means more IEP's.

Take Care.
