I am having a hard time accepting the fact that we will get no assistance or help once Veronica turns 3 in a few short months.
I have been brainstorming with our EI person to see if we can work with MRDD rather than the school system. Just to make sure we can still get money for respite care and other funds we are entitled too. We just don't want to get sucked into the school system and someone telling me "put her in school" every time we meet. Our EI person totally supports our homeschooling and knows all will be well for Veronica. With our without their help.
I am torn, I don't know how things will pan out. I am not really looking to get services/therapy for Veronica. But to make sure we can stay in the system and take advantage of our tax dollars. But I don't want to do an IEP and have to have her tested. I am so confused.
Anyone else have anything to share in this regard?
