I am going to preace my answer by saying that I am Canadian, living in
Vermont, having just moved here from Ireland. I don't have much experience
with Insurance companies over here. I know that my clients in Ireland had
moderate to good success in getting coverage. My understanding is that
insurance companiesd will cover for things like PT, OT, Speech etc. If you
can find one who uses CST even better. In Ireland some of my clients just
kept pestering the insurance companies until they covered their costs and
that was for many other forms of therapy including CST. They could prove
that the approach was helping and so the companies had to take notice. Some
companies did nothing about it and so parents paid out of pocket. that can
add up but...you don't have to be coming a few times/week or even once/week.

At first it might be better to schedule 3-5 sessions a week apart. this
will allow your daughter a chance to get a good chunk of work done and for
the membrane system to start to open up. After that you could start to
scale it down and bring her in when you feel appropriate. Again, with my
clients, parents would brng them back in when they noticed their kids
"traits" startinf to come out again. I'm starting to ramble here.

i would check with your insurance company and find out what exactly they
cover. If they cover PT OT etc..keep sending in the receipts but make sure
they have CranioSacral Therapy on them...especially if it is working ;o)
they will eventually take notice.
