Finnian's Journey: Wow.

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

This is interesting...I have never received anything like this from our regional center in LA County but what really is the purpose of this, to guilt us into not accepting services? I am sure it is for accountability but still confused on the different dollar amounts. Lisa...you always have good juicy stuff to share ;)...wish you lived next door!; July 22, 2010 at 2:16 PM
heather said...: I think this is just to make sure services aren't being billed to the state that were never received. I work in home health and our Medicare patients get the same statements even though the services are covered at 100%. Just to make sure nurses aren't falsely submitted visits. And the different amounts were probably for evaluations and IFSP stuff.; July 22, 2010 at 3:06 PM

Brandie said...: We used to get these monthly from one of Goldie's EI providers. They always billed in 15 min increments and it was a set amount for each 15 minutes. There was a set rate for each therapy. Goldie received up to 3 therapies a week, at one point, so this was the best way to verify that they were billing for what she actually received.; July 23, 2010 at 1:31 PM
Crittle said...: We got something similar last week that covered all of last year. Totally random! It did confirm what I learned a while back though...for just basic EI services, the state pays like $1100/month for my kid. It's a shame, I think, that the support doesn't match the price.; July 26, 2010 at 12:33 PM
