[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 446601, member: 11791"] Unless you can get some outside professional to support you, its a losing battle, and your energies are probably better spent elsewhere. But "outside professional support" isn't necessarily a lawyer. (Sorry, I'm Canadian... we just don't "do that" legal stuff up here!) Its really hard to be the advocate, when you're dealing with a system that sees you as "just a parent". Alternate voices can be... the psychiatrist or therapist (been there done that), someone from a learning disabilities association, a retired teacher who knows the system and the case... in other words, anyone who can come up to speed on the situation, supports your basic views of what this child needs to move forward, can work as the go-between. It takes emotion out of the picture, which is especially important when there is "history" to the case. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
