My experience
I had a sibling group of 3 placed in June, and I just talked on the phone with the subsidy negotiator. They did talk tough, but I remained firm, and we agreed on a bit over 1200/month for all three. I did fill out an extensive form documenting monthly expenses etc. These are pretty average kids, diagnosed with a few common problems (ADD, receptive/expressive language disorder). One was on 3 meds for behavior (but is now off and doing great behaviorally at school). No mediation etc was necessary. Just my experience. FYI, all texas kids eligible for subsidy now also recieve free college tuition. Big relief for me as I had no idea how I was going to pay for 5!
