So today is a celebration for our family, after months of waiting the kids just got accepted on state disability. To my understanding but I will learn more tomorrow that I have to have an insurance and they help with the remaining (not 100% sure). The nice thing about this program is that it is evaluated on a yearly base, so I am not obligated to keep them from a normal life such as working, driving, etc... I may loose the benefits as they move into adulthood, but to have the chance to catch up for now. For the first time I can BREATHE!!!!!! Still have a long haul to catch up, but I can now see the end of the financial tunnel. WHEeeewww.........
Very important note: I never have nor will use the word "Disability" in front of my kids, so even if you have to get help in the same way, remember that is to help financially and they cover for those who receive a continuing treatment. Unfortunately they use the word disability, I never want to disable my children mentally because of a word, so be careful of your language. Funny how something so simple really can ruin a person's life.
