As you know it is tough making sandwiches that taste good for kids with gluten/dairy free bread. Grill up a tortillas that can be found in the regular grocery.
When your child receives a waiver in the state of Ohio, they qualify for a Medicaid card. The Medicaid card can be an amazing tool for your child, not to mention it can save you a TON of money! Let’s face it…autism is expensive…and a Medicaid card can help in many ways. The only downside is it doesn’t come with any instructions or a “Where to use your Medicaid card” booklet. I have learned many uses for the Medicaid card over the last year, and I share them with you in my latest blog on www.autismpuzzlemom.com.
There are many lists of warning signs for autism, but no 2 children present the same symptoms. I am listing some of the early signs I saw from my boys.

Many families can’t qualify for Medicaid because their income is too high. Medicaid for the Disabled needs to be looked at because if a family can qualify, it could offer many services for a person with autism.
Many families get 14 to 56 hours of help/therapy in their home even though they are sitting on a waiver waitlist. They get these services because their child or adolescent has a Medicaid card and has a disability, which autism qualifies. If you don’t have a Medicaid card for your child/adolescent/adult please see the post about Medicaid for the Disabled to see if you could qualify.
Waivers provide services to individuals with disabilities in their home and in the community. They can be of great support to the individual and to the family. If you have a loved with a developmental disability make sure they are on the waitlist for a waiver.
