[QUOTE="klmno, post: 236377, member: 3699"] I don't know if it happens everywhere, but it seems to be very common here for everyone to change recommendations to what they think they can get approved. GAL, sd, tdocs, etc, have all done this. While I understand the position of not wanting to waste an opportunity to request something that has no chance of getting approved, if it is not made clear what is really needed, if gives me no opportunity to get it, justification to appeal a decision, and does not let higher ups in the county know that there are many kidss that need "xxx" and the county doess not make it available. I brought that up while tesstifying to the judge last year, too, because the GAL had refused to ask the judge for something difficult child needed simply because she said the judge wouldn't/couldn't order it. I thought she should have let the judge know what was needed and recommended anyway. That way, at least the judge would know that difficult child was not getting what others thought he needed, instead of potentially ending up in a situation where it appears that difficult child got what was recommended but it failed leaving her to think it would be pointless to try anything further.
