[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 234247, member: 1157"] I'm sorry I wasn't around last night to read this thread. The key word here is "wrap-around services," I think. Help with crisis intervention,mentoring, in-home therapy (to supplement you rregular therapist and work with him). The school district can only address and fund school-related issues related to **educating** your difficult child, they can't address or fund any of those other things, that's why you need FAPT. That's the way it was explained to me. However, the issues your difficult child is having and his current instability are affecting his school performance (and attendance), and that's where the school can help with pushing/referring you to FAPT. I would focus on the fact that your difficult child needs a team of people to coordinate and brainstorm help in all areas, school, mental health, court involvement, etc. THAT is the purpose of FAPT, so it should be a no-brainer. Say that if you have to. Say that he is now so unstable you can't work, and that if financial hardship gets much worse, it will affect difficult child's stability as well. What happens if you end up homeless? Hey, pull ALL those stops out. Your family needs HELP. Personally, I'd leave out the specific financial piece of your list (damage etc.), except to mention that you are uanble to work, have mounting bills, and you are in a financial crisis. I would worry if you focus too much on wanting financial help (even if justified), there is the off chance they'll look at you as someone wanting to milk the system. I would focus everything on difficult child and how it is affecting him. There's my 2 cents. Or 50 :-P [/QUOTE]
