[QUOTE="klmno, post: 296984, member: 3699"] LDM: difficult child is in state Department of Juvenile Justice and going to a school at their facility, however, the school is still in the DOE dept, not Department of Juvenile Justice, so it still has to meet state doe regs. Now, difficult child was up for his ttriennial review and I could not afford private neuropsychologist testing so the sd did it. This is just a typical (supposed to be anyway) assessment by a school pysch. I woould kind of understand her stance that she sounds like she's flipping out over difficult child's Department of Juvenile Justice record so she can't seem to focus on much else, except that she does all this sd's testing and there are kids in there for murder, rape, etc, who have done a whole lot worse than difficult child. I agree he needs to stay monitored, too, but this was not an evaluation for the PO or legal people, this is a evaluation for IEP determination for the sd. Of course, it will be in difficult child's school record forever and he be released next year and going to a mainstream high school, where this will be their impression of difficult child. Department of Juvenile Justice already did their psychiatric evaluation on difficult child in April while difficult child was in processing but it didn't cover sd issues. difficult child has a psychiatrist and therapist at Department of Juvenile Justice and they will be making recoommendations for difficult child's mental health care after his release. This school pysch didn't even consult with either of them and she told me that. Department of Juvenile Justice's mental health evaluation said BiPolar (BP) I, but again, it didn't cover how that can affect school, and the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis is currently being re-evaluation'd by the psychiatrist seeing difficult child now because the one done in processing just took difficult child's records from the psychiatric hospital he'd been in and talked to difficult child and wrote down bp1 with most recent episode manic (although it should have said depression) but had no other comment. You kind of have to look at it like when difficult child is at home- he might have a psychiatrist and therapist debating if he's unipolar depression or BiPolar (BP), but the educ psychiatric at sd does her evaluation for the IEP and says that since the BiPolar (BP) is question, he's a bad kid and just needs a behavior contract and then the rest of her recommendations cover what she thinks he needs outside of school. That's what is going on and that might be ok if a kid has never seen a psychiatrist or therapist but this is not the case and given that difficult child is in Department of Juvenile Justice, their psychiatrist and therapist will be making the recommendations for his care after release. So, no one covered what difficult child needs in school as far as suppoorts. The teachers reported that difficult child needs supports though so I'm writing a letter to the IEP case manager asking her to discuss these teachers' reports with difficult child's therapist to get her recommendations and to let her know about difficult child struggling in these areas so maybe she can work with him, too.
