I told the person that she was my sons therapist, I didn't expect him to read my mind. How much is she costing the state? Her salary of likely 15 bucks or so an hour plus all of the overhead. So, in short, a ton of money. Why?

And just because we can manage without a TSS doesn't mean we should have to. My son is aggressive when upset and gets upset often. It is safer for everyone if the TSS is there to help out, both helping him stay calm and dealing with behaviors if they occur.
