I just don't know.
There wasn't such thing as ABA therapy at the time that we knew about.
It was super expensive.
We were blessed to be able to afford things.
But even then, you know, we weren't super wealthy and we sacrificed to do it.
And that's why I want to tell you dads, you know, if it takes you going out there and getting a second, third job, then you got to do it.
You got to do it.
I don't care.
I don't really don't care what you think about it.
That's something that we need to do.
That's the responsibility we have to get the give your kid the best opportunity to reach his maximum or her maximum potential.
And most insurance companies will say no the first time.
Remember that.
And then you just have to keep fighting and fighting and fighting.
Because most people will not fight.
They just will not.
Just like your local school district.
When you go in for your individual education program and you're
outside people are telling you your therapist and everything is, Hey, he needs, you know, 30 minutes of speech therapy a day.
And your IEP says, Oh, you need 30 minutes a month.
