@thehippymom: Tomorrow I have our annual IHSS visit. Here's how I prepare: 1. I turn off the WiFi and put away Jude's iPad so they can see the level of supervision he requires when he isn't occupied by his preferred activities. 2. I keep a behavioral log and bring any doctor's notes, medication updates, or supporting documentation that reflects his current needs. 3. I am very descriptive when discussing his support needs and give specific examples of self injurious behaviors, elopement risk, sleep disturbances, toileting needs, and why he requires 24 hour supervision. I never assume others understand what our daily life looks like. Remember, don't minimize your child's needs. Progress does not equal independence. Let me know how you prepare for your annual IHSS visits! @Zulekha Williams helped me tremendously. Reach out to her if you'd like her guide. #IHSS #AutismOfTikTok #IHSSProvider

well a 15 minute visit would not show the kids behavior. we deal with it 24 hours a day and everything It's spontaneous. my daughter all of sudden, walks backwards, goes in circles and starts climbing on furniture and going in circles on top of it. she elopes, put things in her mouth so I have to be always on her to prevent her from getting hurt or choke and still got denied Protective Supervision. although I have some many reports from neurologist, speech and pediatrian and regional center reports.

I would prefer to have 2 jobs even if I was an absent parent and a child who knew his age and at least my address but my twins don’t even know the meaning of time what month we are living in it’s like there mind resets every night 😔(they turn 10yo next month) , and they take 3 medications a day and one which definitely zombies them 😭 (for the best of there safety) , people who aren’t in our place wouldn’t understand the challenges and everything that comes along with and even just grief after a diagnosis.

Do you have the templates of these forms. Because every time I ask this from the school they act all dumb, and never wanna give paper trail and keep doing phone calls even after stating you strictly want a written document of incidents. Perhaps providing the template you want them to fill out would be easier for them?

Yes! I’ve been receiving PS for my son for years.. we got a new worker and she took it away because my son “watches tv & knows who mom is”. Currently appealing. So frustrating! Never have a tv or iPad near.
