[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 488247, member: 6546"] These responses have been so helpful! I have a meeting with the treatment team tomorrow...and this thread has helped me get my thoughts together as far as some of these goals and realities are concerned. Chaos-- I'm not sure that I can fire the therapist...but we can discuss how she is handling things. "Firing" and "Hiring" is not up to me - it's up to the supervisor. MaKettle-- Thanks! I thought husband and I were being pretty fair... SLSH-- Thank you for addressing this point-by-point! Yes...difficult child should be required to do-to-get. Step-- You walked 2.5 miles? Wow! I thought I was pretty reasonable saying walk or bike up to two miles. Jal-- Yes, I think the therapist is a little too young to appreciate some of this. In many ways she does not understand how things work. Confuzzled-- I don't know about the unicorns, but yeah....a lot of this is pure fantasy TeDo-- Yes, I agree the therapist needs to get a little more experience. Are you sure you want to volunteer? Insane-- I think we're being pretty supportive. difficult child has a nice bike that we do keep "tuned up" for her...she just argues that she can't ride it to a job. KTMom-- Thanks! I didn't think our expectations were so outlandish. It's great to know we're not alone. Bunny-- Exactly! Driving is a priviledge - not a right. ThreeShadows-- She does sound a bit like a 16 year old. I have been surprised when she looks at certain issues from almost a teenaged point of view Methuselah-- I like that line of reasoning! DDD-- You make a really good point. And yes, I can see that the therapist may be trying to find a way to motivate difficult child. That might very well be what she is trying to do... But in the meantime, difficult child is barely passing school - I wish the therapist would be a little more realistic and help difficult child set more attainable goals for the short-term...like passing her classes. Timer-- Yes - the therapist is not quite as "down to earth" as we would like Janet-- You are right - the parents should be informed beforehand...not afterward Buddy-- Sadly, this came directly from the therapist...on behalf of difficult child. She told difficult child that she would talk to us about difficult child's concerns Susie-- Yes, this is the same therapist. At tomorrow's meeting I finally get a chance to address some of this stuff (although it sounds as if the supervisor already suspects that therapy is not quite going the way it was intended) Wish me luck!
