Filing for Disabilty

I applied for the MR waiver here in Iowa, which is what Autism falls under. I know Michael is not the only Autistic child in this county needing this waiver, yet they are having such a hard time getting his psychological and IQ tests done. I am beginning to become  discouraged. I would be willing to take Michael to a bigger hosptal or wherever to get this done.

I know SSI can take months to go through, especially with most cases having to be appealed. I read that some states require that the first application be denied if the waiver had not been issued yet.

I really have no idea what I am doing. I know I can fill out an application on the website, but other than that, I know nothing about what I need to do.
