| Special Note from Christina: This subject is very near and dear to my heart. For as much as I would love to speak to everyone for hours, please respect the fact that while I am empathetic to your situation, there are many parents who need my help. Please understand that I must limit the time I spend and the case load I carry to the maximum amount I can effectively handle. My goal is to provide the best service possible to the largest amount of parents and children without compromising the precious time I have with my husband and three small children. Please also note that my services are not a guarantee of monetary reimbursement. My advice and counseling is given as a guideline to help you get reimbursed by your insurance company for the therapy your child receives. All recommendations made are based on personal experience and professional medical coding knowledge. |
Coding (CPC) status, she is highly successful in her quest to have her health
insurance company pay for the therapies her child receives. Such therapies
include, but are not limited to: Speech Therapy , ABA Therapy, Occupational
Therapy, Evaluations, and Listening Programs.
Since February 2007, Blessed With Autism has helped clients recuperate a
total of over $750,000. Not once has a client ever spent more on retaining
Blessed With Autism than what they recovered from insurance claims.
By founding Blessed With Autism, Christina hopes to give parents the ability to
provide the best therapy for their child without incurring the overwhelming
out-of-pocket costs. Some industry leaders strongly believe that with the
correct therapies and early intervention, some spectrum children's brains can
be rewired and declassified. With the right tools, you can get your child the
therapy they need and have it all or partially paid for by your health insurance
plan.

Welcome to Holland by Emily Perl Kingsley
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a
disability to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to
understand it, to imagine how it would feel.
It's like this... When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a
fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guidebooks and
make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum, the Michalangelo David, the
gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very
exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack
your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The
stewardess comes and says, "Welcome to Holland." "Holland?" you say.
"What do you mean Holland? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy.
All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy." But there's been a change in the
flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important
thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place full of
pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place. So you go out and
buy new guidebooks. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will
meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It's just a
different place. It's slower paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after
you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around, and
you begin to notice that Holland has windmills, Holland has tulips, Holland
even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from
Italy, and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there.
And for the rest of your life, you will say, "Yes, that's where I was supposed to
go. That's what I had planned." The pain of that will never go away, because
the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But if you spend your life
mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you will never be free to enjoy
the very special, very lovely things about Holland.

blessed - verb - defined as enjoying or bringing happiness
I literally fell to the floor in the doctors office after hearing the diagnosis. I couldn't hold back the
tears. I was in shock, a million thoughts and fears running uncontrollably through my mind. By the
time I got into my car, I had pulled myself together and started making the first of hundreds of phone
calls to try to get services and find out more information. Unknowingly and unwillingly, I had just
accepted a new full time job in addition to my current 70-hours-a-week career. The voice in my head
kept saying, "I have an autistic kid, " over and over again. It was the first thing I thought of in the
morning and the last thing I thought at night. The last thing I felt was BLESSED.
Now, three years later, my daughter has taught me the meaning of determination, perseverance,
patience, and unconditional love. Not only do I stop to smell the roses, but am always made aware
by her of how many roses are in the bush, what color they are, and what color they are not. Before, I
wouldn't have even seen the roses. She has made my husband and me better parents, better
spouses, better friends, and overall better people. We appreciate the little things in life, like a loving
glance from our child. Even a long-awaited, simple "I love you" brings tears to our eyes.
It is no mistake that you were chosen to be the parents of a special needs child. Your journey will be
long and difficult, but I promise, although it's hard to imagine, over the next few years you too will feel
blessed.
