And here it is...our next adventure into the absurd...
We are currently waiting for state caseworker to find an appropriate Behavioral Specialist to come to our home and set up a Behavioral Management Program for difficult child - with primary goal (among others) "difficult child will refrain from hurting family members 6 out of 7 days per week".
Today I get a call from a Behavioral Specialist to whom the COUNTY has now referred my family. She would like to come out to our house and meet with us regarding establishing goals for difficult child. (and presumably, getting them on a Behavior Chart...though she did not use that phrase...)
The STATE's Behavior Specialist should be getting in touch with us sometime in the next week or so...to set up their Behavior Program.
I am just speechless!
This is the most ridiculous example of government redundancy and red tape in action that I have ever seen!!!!
So...I guess I will meet with both of them and see what I think...
(Good thing Medicaid will pay for both of these services at once! Heaven forbid we waste government funds on anything expensive or frivolous like Residential Treatment Center (RTC). (Yes, I am being sarcastic...))
