My son is 17 months old, and doesn't crawl, scoot, or walk around. He can't get into a sitting position on his own. If I place him in a sitting position, he will eventually fall over, and doesn't know how to get back up on his own.
He is currently in an Early-On program, where he sees a physical and occupational therapist once a week. Progress has been tremendously slow, and things feel hopeless all the time.
It seems I am always fighting with insurance companies to get benefits approved for my child. Calling his pediatrician is almost a daily event, acting as a middle man between his insurance company and getting services paid for.
We finally had our insurance provider switched over to a new carrier, and they seem to be paying for physical and occupational therapy without less questions and need for medical necessity letters. The only problem is that now that the visits will be paid for, we are on a long waiting list for therapy services!!
Anyone else having trouble meeting the needs of your special little one?
