FINALLY!
I finally found the program we have been needing! Advance Crisis Solutions in Chico is AMAZING! We haven’t started working with them just yet but we did out intake yesterday and I cried like a baby. All their respite professionals are trained in ABA and other hands off preventative techniques and they will receive these services into adulthood! So long as they need it, even into their future, potential placement for when they’re much older if I could no longer care for them. It’s just the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard of. That combined with CBEM providing additional support services and working with the girls in home should amount to some awesome progress and overall improving ALL of our quality of life. I’m absolutely overjoyed and feeling very blessed that this exists, we finally got a reliable Far Nothern representative to connect us with the right people, and now there is just feeling hope and excitement for the future. For the other special needs parents out there, hound your representatives and figure out what will work for your family because I couldn’t have imagined something like this exists and after searching and so much hoop jumping we finally have something that will help us. It’s been a year since I started doing this all on my own, no child support, no time shared, just me. It’s so hard feeling that helpless and physically outnumbered. Take care of your single parent friends!!!
