[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 569636, member: 1233"] I would certainly mention it to the psychiatrist, but I would NOT give them a release to talk to the therapist and psychiatrist. Ask the behavior therapist to give you any questions/issues in writing via email or letter and you will ask the psychiatrist/therapist/whomever and give her the response. She has zero need to talk to these people with-o you. Signing that release means that she can get ANY info and often this leads to big problems. Many parents here have had this happen. It lets the behav therapist and the psychiatrist/therapist to discuss things and make decisions with-o you being in the picture, and this could create all sorts of problems. If you know the issues, you can judge what seh needs to know and this helps preserve your and difficult child's privacy and security. Also schools tend to be less than rigorous about privacy and information sharing and it would be very easy for her to leave something on a desk about your difficult child and for a student, parent, teacher or staff member to gossip about this with people who have no right to the info. Sadly our kids can be gossip fodder very easily and so can we, and this can permanently damage both your and difficult child's ability to trust. It just isn't worth it. It also lets the behav ther and psychiatrist/therapist to not have all info that you ahve when making decisions. If you have signed the releases, send each party a letter revoking it and asking that all questions/issues run through you because you are the person coordinating all aspects of difficult child's care and life. Make sure your parent report states this clearly so there are no future issues over this. I do NOT mean to bash or speak badly of schools/teachers/docs of all kinds. I just know that often in a school info is very easy to access and it can cause big problems. It is easy to forget that what you are discussing might be overheard by a student, teacher, parent or other person at the school simply because there are so many people at the school at any time.
