Is your childs prescription for services getting filled ?

My husband and I feel like our son is in this catch 22 when it comes to receiving all the services he is prescribed to receive .
Aaron gets all of his school TSS hours , but when it comes to receiving his home hours we get told " we can't find the staffing for that right now "
Are you kidding me , I just want to know how come 27 hours can get staffed for school , but when it comes to home why we can't get our measly 12 hours .
The reason is because we live on the outskirts of town ( 45 minutes away from town center ) .
And also because our son is so aggressive , he is a hard case to staff .
So we might get 5 or 6 hours a week , from a temp ( that is when she is not calling off ) .
I just feel like my child is suffering from all of this , and I'm worried that he may be serving an inpatient stint soon .
Can anyone give me some words of encouragement , I feel like we have hit a wall here .
