[QUOTE="Shari, post: 358120, member: 1848"] I pushed back on the advocate and told her that the issue that I asked for help addressing has not been resolved. All we have "accompished" was surviving until Wee's internal tides switched again - and NOTHING more. She told me to ask the school for full day placement for next year, and get in writing that as soon as the behaviors start, to get the outside agency in to do the FBA. And if they don't reply, call and re-apply for her services. Um, yeah, lady. If it was that easy, do you think I'd have requested an attorney for the state protection and advocacy agency? So he falls apart mid-november. We call a meeting. We work around Thanksgiving break. We meet by the end of Nov. I need advocacy again, so I call and apply. IF I get accepted, I find that out in 10 days. Now its mid December. Schedule a meeting with the advocate present, work around holiday break, and its January again. I dodn't know whether to tell her to shove it or to look at it as an opportunity to get a new advocate! I asked her, point blank, to table the case til next fall, when the behavior issues arise again (and if they don't, she can close it). She said "sure, let her know when they schedule the meeting before the end of this year, and when everything is resolved to my satisfaction, she'll close the case." I don't think she's heard a word I've said. [/QUOTE]
