i have called every resource in the state of TN and let me tell you, it really sucks that every thing is based on income in tn. we are far from rich. not even close. we have house payment, car payment, you know, all the bills everyone else has but because we are not living in the car adam does not qualify for any state paid services or grants....how unfair is that? so we have to decide, should we let everything go, hubby take a lower wage job so adam gets the things he so desperately needs? what is wrong with this @#$@##% country that says unless you are dirt poor you dont need services? no one can afford thousands of dollars for desperately needed therapies and all the other needs of children with special needs. they say the school is suppose to provide all of these services...but yet they do not police the schools and force them to do it....oh it would not do for me to be the one to make the laws for our kids with needs, heads would roll!
sorry i had to vent :)
