Check with your local MHMR, they're not quite free, but they do work on a sliding scale. There is also a very good psychiatric unit at John Peter Smith hospital in Fort Worth, depending on what part of the state you live in you may want to check with the local county hospitals in your area.

i would check with a ms charity as they might be able to help.  but to be honest i don't think you'll have much luck with a mainstream one due to the nature of the disease....  sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Helps to know where you're living because all counties and all states conduct such meetings differently.  Here in Cali we have several ways to request a conference, you can contact the school district's special education dept to find out who is the child's Program Specialist.  You can then request a meeting from that person or the other option is writing a note to the child's teacher and requesting a parent conference.  Whether or not your child has a Program Specialist, contact your area's Regional Center and get your child involved into their system.  Next, have your child assessed by the center then contact the child's teacher and tell them you would like a parent conference.  Depending on the school district, some have a 30 day rule, others 45 days in which to comply.\n\nBefore the meeting, sit down with the Regional Center Manager and discuss with him/her areas according to the assessment results that need to be addressed.  Create a list of questions you'd like to ask the teacher, nurse and anyone else the school district has attend.\n\nNext, create a listing of concerns you are presently seeing at home with your child as well as concerns you are seeing while your child is in the program.  A concern might be that you don't see your child interacting with other children and you want to know why.\n\nCreate a listing of possible short term and long term goals.  These are helpful in that, during this conference, even though the child is young, you want to encourage independence, goals and a direction toward independence.\n\nDiscuss any physical and medical concerns and discoveries you've had, including medications, if any, doseages, times given.\n\nLastly, make eye contact when talking to these professionals, maintain good communication, attend the classroom to observe and be involved as much as you can.\n\nGood luck

I would check on line first to see if there were any thing there for free to at least help out some.  Sometimes there are clinics that will work with you on payments as well.

Ok I have a few things you can try:\nResponse Line\n \nA "warm line" (not a crisis hot line) for anyone looking for resources, referrals, or just a chance to connect with others regarding dealing with mental disorders. Call the NAMI CCNS office (847) 724-1460 and leave a message. Messages are picked up three times a week by our response tearm members. \n \nI know that the Dane County line can help people find low cost treatment. \n\nhttp://www.ccfhchicago.org/INDEX_net.asp\n\nhttp://www.therapistfinder.net/hospitals/illinois/cook.html\n\nAll you have to do when you get the clinic or therapist name is to ask point blank if they offer a sliding fee? If not, they might know of someone who does.

I understand your situation. You should be able to find a mental health clinic close to you. They are usually free or charge according to income. You might want to try some of these.
