After complaining about my son at work one day (I worked with OT, SLP and PT)they encouraged me to get him referred for SPD. After going to my pediatrician and getting the referral, I just waited for the approval, thinking this was going to go through with no problem. Nope. It was denied. I spoke to someone with our insurance company and explained it my son needed glasses, they would pay. If my son needed a wheelchair, it would be paid for. Why for a quality of life issue, would they not pay. I asked if they would be willing to pay once he had psyc issues and needed those services. I all of a sudden got an approval. He got services for one year to cope with his sensory issues. I wish I would have had the above checklist for him.
