[QUOTE="klmno, post: 296487, member: 3699"] That bugged me, too, Shari after I read what licensed educ psychiatric's were qualified to do in our state. It does not list diagnosis'ing or treating psychiatric illnesses so who is she to basicly discredit it? She puts in the report that the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis is disputed but does not add that the question is "is it BiPolar (BP) or unipolar depression or adjustment disorder", even though she has documentation from psychiatrists stating those diagnosis's. There are several suspoicious things- she lists things that will cause a "shock factor" to school personnel when difficult child returns to mainstream but does not list that he had NO significant behavior problems at school for the past 2 years. She lists some things saying difficult child said them but difficult child swears he didn't (ok- that IS questionable to me- she might be right), then she says hhis Department of Juvenile Justice record indicates "a major aggressive incident with another child outside of the school setting", however, difficult child NEVER had a charge or even legal accusation about something like that. How could something like that be in his Department of Juvenile Justice record (which is the record from legal charges, detention, and probation) and me not be aware of it? I've never even gotten any report that difficult child had a major aggression incident with another kid outside of school or in school. He did have pushing matches and a couple of fights where one or two punches were thrown and he was written up at school but it was listed as "no injury" and the last one was over a year ago after a boy threw difficult child against a locker and held him there by his neck, so difficult child punched him in the stomach. The PO even excused that- but difficult child was not arrested for it. That's why I think it's a biased report. Plus, if she's not allowed to provide therapuetic treatment with this license, should she be making recommendations on what type of therapy difficult child and I should get for a diagnosis she came up with? I think this is still all about which side is going to win- the mental health profs and me or the sd and legal people- in determining what is causing difficult child to do the things he does and what treatment is best for it. I'm approaching it like I want to make sure everything is thorough and complete so everyone can get on the same page and work together to do what is in difficult child's best interest and offer him the best hope for rehabilitation. I keep reminding the PO that if the legal people are going to order mental health treatment, then they need to be on board with what those profs say and be supportive of it as well. But the type of therapy should be per the mental health prof's recommendations, not dictated by legal authorities or the sd. [/QUOTE]
