Did You Lose A Set of Steak Knives?
Today we were informed that due to the fact that my husband was medically retired from the Army Morgana and Iain will no longer be receiving ABA Therapy which has been vital to them. I had called Tricare and asked if it would be covered even though my husband was medically retiring from the Army. They told me yes. In fact, it is NOT. Turns out that because my husband is no longer active duty means they are no longer enrolled in the ECHO program, which is the only program that covers ABA; therefore all therapy received after his retirement would all have to be paid out of pocket. Morgana's ABA Therapy for a month cost about $2150. I have no idea how much Iain's will be. I need everyone to please check out this link ( http://cmkaa.org/ ) and send a message out to your Congressman or woman. This is not just for Morgana and Iain but for all medically discharged or retired men and women who have children with Autism and need these services. If my husband was medically able to stay in the military he would have. Why should our children be the ones paying the price too for his sacrifice to our country? They can have their steak knives back. Tell the Pentagon and the rest of the military that this therapy is not just an educational therapy. This therapy is also behavioral and is necessary to help them become an independent member of society.
