my son's doctor sent us to a speech therapist and she qualified him for 2 days a week an hour a day. i have applied him for ssi and they denied him the first time, so i reapply him. this time they set up an appointment to see a speech therapist and she also qualified him for speech. he is almost 2 and only says mama and die for bye. i know its too early for an adhd test but i can already tell he is adhd. i have it and i have a learning disability. he will not go to sleep at night and he will not take a nap during the day. all he wants to do is play and run around. Does anyone have any ideas on whether social security will approve him for ssi? i am a single mom and its hard raising a child with little income.

I think that if 2 of your doctors say that he needs it then you should be able too do it.Though they might deny you at first. but i also want to say that your school district might have to help you there too not sure look into it he might have to be 3. But I know that when my doc wanted my 5 year old tested when he was 3 I called our school and they set it up. I wish you both the best of luck
