This and That

I have a couple of updates for you...you know...this and that!

Riley...the wonder dog...has been officially titled! He is a titled Service Dog! He passed his test and all of his skills! Yeah! Everything went as smooth as silk. All in all, the process for accessing GLAD, acquiring Riley, training him and to titling him took 10 months. That was pretty great, in my eyes!!! He is now continuing to work on the Autism Assistance tasks with Leah (there was a picture in the last post of them tethered on a family walk). He will be heading to preschool and daycare Monday through Friday starting in September...with Leah!!! :)

Also...if you want something done...it takes a mom on a mission and lots of networking! I got our insurance company to pay for Leah's UMACC evaluation! HA! I was in the process of preparing, what was at that point, a 7 page formal grievance letter, putting together a packet of documentation from PhD's supporting our position and then our Dr. from UMACC called the Medical Director at our insurance company! "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Knight. The medical director has decided to reverse his decision. We will be providing coverage for Leah's evaluation." Oh, gee, thanks!!! That was enough to celebrate!

I think that is all for updates...ummmm...for now! Enjoy August! Ugh, it's August already! So be it! Enjoy it!
