Oh, and if you apply, they give you a case manager for services you didn't even think you'd need. For example, I didn't know what occupational therapy was, but now I know, and they got my daughter signed up for that. Once you get a single approval from the New York State office, they'll help you with everything, even if you get income later bc they want the family to be as independent as possible. I'm more familiar with the Office of Developmental Disabilities than anything else, but it's good and you'll be work ready.
