Seeking Assistance for Neuropsychological Testing for My Son
I hope this message finds you well. I would like to take a moment to share my situation and ask for your support in addressing a critical need for my son.
As a single mother of two, in family housing, I have always prided myself on my work ethic and self-sufficiency, believing in the importance of earning what I need. However, I find myself in a challenging position that is difficult to articulate, and I hope to do so without facing any judgment.
For the past two years, I have encountered significant obstacles in securing neuropsychological testing for my 10-year-old son, who is nonverbal. Many providers are either unable to accept our insurance or require payments out of pocket, putting this essential resource out of reach. It has become apparent that without the proper diagnosis, my son is unable to access the educational support he desperately needs to thrive in the school system, which is crucial for his self-confidence and mental health.
Currently, I have recommended that he utilize an AAC tablet for the upcoming school year, but without the necessary evaluation, we are facing a substantial roadblock. The systems in place are complicated and often inadequate, and it is disheartening to navigate this while already struggling.
I am reaching out to request any assistance you may be able to provide, whether it be a monetary contribution or guidance towards finding resources for the testing. Every little bit helps in our effort to secure the proper supports my son is entitled to in his educational journey. No child should have to go without the necessary tools and resources for their development.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message and for considering my request. Your support could make a significant difference in our lives.
