Hi Lynn,

Thanks for sharing a bit of your story and the advice for the creative coding. We're working on it.....but so is the Big Insurance company. Researching school resources is the next step I think and figuring out who is pushing back in regards to the age 6 limit.

Best of luck on the new eval for your 6yo. I hope the OT is helpful-

Sleep Well-

Hi beck7422-

Thanks for the advice about contacting our representatives. That is a good step to take...although I'm a bit disillusioned about their efficacy. Nevertheless, it is a proactive step. I hadn't thought about the new health care bill, but for some reason I didn't think that it would impact benefits such as this. In my research on policies in WA, many cap the neurodevelopmental benefits at 6yo- reflective of WA law. That law needs to be changed. The brain doesn't even stop developing until 19 or so!!!!...and with healthcare professionals not being easily aligned on diagnosing SPD, you're lucky if you identify what's going on early enough to make the most impact. We've been working to figure out what's going on with our little guy and have only just found out about SPD......and now only months before "I" turns 6. We'll continue to do what we can after that, but it's going to be tough.

I will have to do some research in regards to the effects of the new bill. Thanks for the head's up.

Regards-
AJINE
