Autism Success Stories: Navigating Autism as a Military Family with Melissa L.
Показать описание
Mary Barbera discusses with Melissa Leahy about receiving an autism diagnosis for her child as military family stationed overseas.
Melissa and her family were living overseas in Japan while her husband was deployed and COVID lockdowns were just beginning to lift. That’s a lot going on in and of itself, but in the midst of that, her doctor shared suspicions of autism for her then 2-year-old. It wasn’t until her husband returned and they were facing orders to another country, that she finally received a diagnosis and began to understand how she could help Mattis.
Her family found my page and got straight to work, watching videos and completing the toddler course. As an overseas military family, they had extremely limited services and this was the best chance they had to help their son. Now they are back in Virginia, and with her knowledge from the courses coupled with a well-matched BCBA, they are seeing major improvement in Mattis. Melissa says my courses and ABA in general not only help her help her child with autism, but help her be a better parent to all three of her children.
Melissa is a great example of what I like to call the captain of the ship. No pun intended for this Navy family. In this episode, she shares amazing insights on Tricare coverage for autism therapy, supports available through base services, and unique challenges that arise for military autism families. Before finding my course, Mattis struggled with a variety of safety concerns and a serious disorder, Pica. With the tools Melissa has now, she has gotten rid of all of these and can work on other things with her son and their in-home BCBA.
You'll learn:
-Does tricare cover autism therapy?
-How does the American military support autism families?
-Challenges for military families with children with signs of autism.
-Advice for military families with children with signs of autism.
-How to combat serious disorders associated with autism.
-How to manage safety concerns with autism.
-How to pair other necessary appointments for autism.
-A non-verbal autism success story.

Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents.
