[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 45338, member: 3211"] I think that it will all work out. Oddly enough, I ran into the director of education at phospital last night during our trip to WalMart. Weird, right? Weirder still is the fact that as a teen, I babysat for this lady for several years (summers included) while she worked. She had 3 difficult child's, so I have often thought that that is where my training began (lol). If there are education advocates in the area, I have not found them in all of my research. It's frustrating to say the least. I guess in the past, everything in this arena has been smoothed out and ready long before discharge. This inpatient stay has had a lot of bumps and idiosyncrasies, beginning with the fact that the psychiatric hospital right now is working with consulting doctors who seem to be working a month or so at a time, so we have had to endure overlapping personalities and opinions. The psychiatrist who just came on reads difficult child's chart as stable and believes it is not necessary to keep him inpatient any longer. She doesn't care that the education component is not in place and believes that can be worked out later. I guess I just thought, from past experience, that this should be worked out before discharge. Ideally it should be, but I can see that it's not always the case - it just was in our experience. The education coordinator said the CSE meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. and that I should attend at the psychiatric hospital. They will have our sd CSE chair attend by speaker phone. The psychiatric hospital recommendation is what husband and I want - difficult child to finish out the last few weeks of this school year at collaborative day program, attend the extended school year program and then go to the 8:1:1 program at another sd that our sd originally planned for him to attend in the fall. It is now, apparently, our sd's firm belief that difficult child belongs in collaborative day program for the unforseeable future. That is not coll. day's stance and not ours necessarily. Could be a battle, but I think that finally we and the staff at the psychiatric hospital are on the same page - even difficult child's outpatient psychiatrist is attending the meeting, although it is not normally done that way and she will be stepping on the inpatient psychiatrist's toes - so all in all I guess I shouldn't complain. Wish us luck, though, could be a bumpy afternoon. Not looking forward to it. [/QUOTE]
