Growing Together: Neurodiversity at Home

You’re in the right place.

Raising neurodivergent kids is a lot — the appointments, the advocacy, the mornings that fall apart before 8am. This is where real neurodivergent families come to find routines that actually work, homeschool strategies that flex with real life, and information about Georgia resources that are hard to find anywhere else. I’m Maryellen, and we’re figuring this out together.

Navigating the Medicaid renewal process in Georgia can be incredibly frustrating, especially when encountering significant "red tape." This video shares my personal experience trying to renew my Medicaid, highlighting the challenges of accessing "health care" and getting "medicaid help" through the online "portal." It's a real look at the difficulties many face with their "health insurance" renewals. 💛⚠️ UPDATE: Georgia launched a new online portal for KB members on April 15, 2026. If your case has been migrated, you may be able to renew digitally. Check your email for an invite or call the KB office to ask. Portal: katiebeckettportal.dch.georgia.gov 📌 TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS VIDEO: Ignore the instructions on any Medicaid letter — call the KB office directly Call at 8am when they open for the best chance of reaching someone Use Constituent Services when you can't get a response If coverage lapses — call daily and know they can correct and backdate Document everything — dates, names, what was saidBONUS: If you pay out of pocket during a lapse — ask your pharmacy to look up those purchases and rebill Medicaid directly🔗 LINKS MENTIONED: ▶️ KB Renewal Walkthrough (Form 508 step by step): Will add once live! ▶️ Georgia Constituent Services: https://www.georgia.gov/services/constituent-services ▶️ Katie Beckett Office: 678-248-7449 ▶️ KB New Online Portal: katiebeckettportal.dch.georgia.gov ▶️ Georgia Medicaid / KB Program Page: https://medicaid.georgia.gov/programs/all-programs/tefrakatie-beckett ▶️ Katie Beckett Medicaid Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyiJcZTBcezRSAKT_2fkTjYluEV39Exea📚 RELATED VIDEOS: ▶️ The Katie Beckett Packet Doesn't Need to Feel Impossible: https://youtu.be/DEQGtAD_I3Y ▶️ Katie Beckett Forms Explained: https://youtu.be/2xrkDrHHM2E⏱️CHAPTERS: 0:00 — What happened when I followed the letter's instructions 1:06 — Quick context: basic vs. full renewal timelines 2:00 — Three weeks of failed calls 4:56 — What the KB manager told me 7:57 — When coverage went dark 9:22 — How it got resolved 12:09 — 5 takeaways for KB families 13:02 — Pharmacy tip — watch this before you skip it💛 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL Practical support for parents raising neurodivergent kids — from someone living it too.
