[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 510721, member: 12490"] I think so - it was just him and the school psychologist - so I won't be sure until the IEP meeting. From difficult children account, it seemed to go well. I know they asked him about how things would be different this time and he said a lot of the right things, said he's doing better, his friends are doing better and I do know that to be true. He also said that his group has separated from a couple of kids that are not doing well, I know that to be true as well. You know the deal though - only time will tell. I worry that it won't be as easy as he thinks for him to return to the large public school setting. What happens if kids there think of him as a "druggie"? Can he handle the pressure of showing them differently, or will it seem pointless and hopeless so he returns to his old ways? Only time will tell. I do think right now, this meeting gives him a carrot and will hoefully help us use his own goals to help him move forward. As the counselor asked him if he will continue support when he comes home, he told me he will see how he feels and go from there. That's a positive. When I asked him this question in the past, he seemed to answer with more of a "no way, I'm not an addict" sort of answer. I think going to relapse prevention once per week when he gets home, back at the place where he did IOP would be very good. He keeps in touch with some of the kids from there and one of his friends who is doing well right now is going there too. [/QUOTE]
