How We Do… Therapies

How do you find the money when therapy’s not a luxury?

What therapies do you/your family need? How often do you go? What is covered and what is out of pocket?

Another child is getting ABA therapy, CBT, speech, and OT — all of which is completely covered by his insurance, after we pay the $7,000 deductible…
