Therapy question

[Autism Society of Southern AZ]

Good Morning,

i was hoping that someone can guide me into the google group or forward my question to other users and/or anyone there could give feedback on my question.

currently we have 2 boys under the spectrum. One got denied for ABA while the other currently is qualified but agencies either do not have Hab workers available for our area or there's a waiting list. It seems to be the same situation for private insurance as well.

Question: Because of the shortage of ABA/IBT habilitation experts around town (Tucson), what is everyone else doing for therapies while on the "waiting list" to be seen/scheduled besides OT and SLP?

Thank you for any input on this subject.
