[QUOTE="DDD, post: 239860, member: 35"] No, I don't think you should "ask the Super" to do anything. He has made a step by offering you involvement in the searching process instead of just leaving you outside of the loop. He is not now..or ever..going to say OMG YOU are right and my employee the PO is wrong. It's not gonna happen. on the other hand you have been given his time on the telephone. He has listened to your presentation which obviously is different than his PO's. Be grateful for those things but don't delude yourself into believing that he or anyone in the system is going to embrace you or your thoughts. Respect is the top goal. You have been so "anti" the PO's suggestions (and, yes, I do understand why!) that you have to bury that and become "pro" the best services for your difficult child. Stick to the task of exploring and gathering info as suggested by the Super. Don't overanalyze alternative steps. Stick to the task and if you do not feel up to it (all of us have gotten completely drained for certain time periods dealing with difficult child issues and trying to stay strong) see if there is any friend, family member, church member, school person who might volunteer to make the calls with you at their side. It is really very important that you do not make calls sounding like you are on "the edge" as the program or facility will immediately decide that you might be the problem. :frowny: YES...I KNOW....that is not fair but I am a realist and I am confident that I am right. by the way I also think you need to consider the possibiity that by welcoming in home help as offered you will be showing the spirit of cooperation that might subsequently lead to the dawning of the outsiders. They may very well then SEE that his needs are far more complex. Sending hugs along with above "not huggy" :winking: sounding advice. DDD [/QUOTE]
