Monday 4/3/2017 9:00 AM. Had an appointment with Kim Than, our new service coordinator from Regional Center of OC; Thuy-Nhi Vo, Early Start Service Coordinator was our service coordinator but she only takes care of cases for children that age from 3 years old or less. That’s why our case is transferred to Kim Than. She came to our home as agreed; a very nice & young lady. She asked us a few questions about William (when he throws tantrum, what he does when he’s mad, how’s his health, his eating. etc). Then she went over the services that RCOC can offer: ABA services, Respite and Daycare.
ABA: RCOC only covers the ABA service expenses if our health insurance does not cover; they can also help to cover the copay. We need to pay an annual fee depends on the family income, max amount is $200.00.
Respite: RCOC will help to pay the expenses for someone to babysit William; but we have to share the cost depending on the family income.
Daycare: same as Respite, RCOC will help to pay the tuition fee; but we have to share the cost depending on the family income. RCOC will pay only $8.75/hour, we have to pay the difference plus the shared cost.
The meeting lasted for about 40 minutes.
So what we need to do:
- Call the Insurance company to find out if our policy covers the ABA services for William
- Send the pay stubs to RCOC so that they can determine the share of cost that we’re responsible for.
- Also send RCOC a letter from my employment stating that I’m working there currently.
