AUTISM: My child is no longer covered for incontinence supplies?

I have a 7 year old daughter with autism. She is on SSI. For a while, we had been receiving incontinence supplies for free. With all the budget setbacks of the economy, I am having a VERY hard time finding a company that will provide such supplies for SSI/Medi-Cal. Does anyone know where I can find companies that work with the disabled? I've been searching the net and everything I find is for adults only, or you have to pay. We can't afford paying 0 every month for pull-ups and we've been working with her potty training for a loooooong time now with minimal progression. PLEASE HELP???
