Occupational Therapy update

Sorry this is a late update things have been pretty crazy as you can see. So let me talk about my daughter. She went in to have her o.t. evaluation done & I thought it would help you get approved for the services and boy was I wrong. I got told she doesn't meet the requirements that Medicaid has in place to get it. So I go home all sad and worried what I do now. And well I messaged a follow clubfoot mom for help and she told me to look up my states automatic qualifier for children that have disabilities and see if clubfoot is on the list to where she didn't need to be evaluated and just start. So I start searching on google and couldn't find anything and luckily my friend did. Arkansas has a guide for parents to look at. Well it’s more like a book because its 68 pages long. The booklet is titled Arkansas guide to services for children with disabilities. So I read most of it and one page 12 it says this Orthopedic impairments are injuries to bones and muscles and include birth defects (for example, clubfoot, absence of a limb, etc.), impairments caused by disease (for example, polio, bone tuberculosis, etc.), and impairments from other causes (such as cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns). 

And so this means that because she was born with club foot she is entitled to get anything that she needs that will help her feet and legs. So when she went back to therapy I told them about this booklet is how shes entitled to have o.t. automatically and they have to tell their boss about the booklet and to see what to do from here. Hopefully she'll start o.t. soon. My Princess needs all of the help she can get with the falling, swelling, bowlegged, and she is now wanting to be carried some instead of walking. She had physical therapy yesterday and she fall and she hit her poor head on the wall corner and her head was red for a little bet. And well we both cried(I didn't but I wanted too) I held her to calm her down then she wanted down to walk some and play. I'll update on Monday if she gets it or not.
