[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 402260, member: 6546"] The therapist will be at the meeting. The original referral to get us to this agency came from the psychiatric hospital. psychiatrist, school counselor, and another party I don't recognize have all been invited to the meeting. The invitation letter states that an array or services will be discussed, including possible placement and "if you or your representative does not attend....we will assume that [your agency] is willing to participate in any cost share agreement [for treatment]." psychiatric hospital recommended Residential Treatment Center (RTC) "off the record"...meaning they thought it would be a good option if we the parents would find a private placement and pay for it 100%. Short of that, they no longer refer children to RTCs. So no "official" letter from them. therapist will recommend Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - but cannot commit to funding. psychiatrist may or may not recommend Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - but will also not commit to funding. I'm kinda hoping he won't show up...he is elderly and sometimes has "off" days. He might just tell them everything is fine with difficult child! The school will definitely object to any funding commitment on their part....and will most likely recommend a "study skills group" and similar services that are already offered at the school. I think the funding is going to be a HUGE factor. The services the caseworker mentioned are the "mentor" program and occassional respite with a foster family. The caseworker says they sometimes do Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) - but it's very expensive so that's not always available. [/QUOTE]
