[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 232720, member: 1157"] I wanted the school to communicate with our therapist, moreso than the psychiatrist ... to discuss strategies for helping Youngest cope. I tried to encourage that communication all I could. I believe I probably signed a release for the school to talk to psychiatrist as well, but I was confident in her judgment as to what to discuss with them. I definitely would put some restrictions on the release if you are at all uncomfortable with it. Youngest had a psychological evaluation with the school psychologist, who WAS a psychologist... she worked for the school district actually and covered several different schools. It's possible your county has someone outside your particular school that is more qualified. The testing report I have includes test scores as well as the psychologist's general im pressions of Youngest. I specifically remember her writing that Youngest scored high for ADHD, but that it was likely due to her bipolar disorder. BINGO. I think I was fortunate to have a school psychologist that understood the connection there. That and I bombarded them with bipolar literature. Note that it's likely FAPT will ask for releases from therapist, psychiatrist, and everyone else and their brother... even the primary care doctor. [/QUOTE]
