[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 480010, member: 3184"] Alright, I will try to answer all the questions. I did not have to transport difficult child, I actually had then set up secure transport sure to his reaction. Last night difficult child called me and was calm and rational and said he would feel better and safer if I took him. So I cancelled secure transport. He did well on the drive, perseverated a bit, but did well. We stopped and had lunch and he showed me the magic cards the other kids had given him. I can already see a difference in him, he was a little rude to the person at subway, but realized it and changed his approach. We talked quite a bit about what skills he was learning. I was a bit dissapointed at the new Residential Treatment Center (RTC) as i did not get to meet his new psychiatrist and briefly met his therapist. I have decided the intake social workers are clueless, the last one was and this one was too. I should get to talk to difficult children thetapist tomorrow, and maybe the psychiatrist too. He may not see a psychiatrist here this week, as he saw psychiatrist at the other facility yesterday and they are under the same ownership. This Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is a bit more clinical, it is a bit more acute, so he could not have his clock he earned at the last Residential Treatment Center (RTC) as it had metal parts. Out seemed a bit chaotic, but it had younger kiddos so that may be it. When I left difficult child was playing magic with a girl there, so he was making friends already. I can tell just by the group he will be with that he will get triggered. And the atmosphere. It had bad acoustics, and echoes. I hope he does get triggered, and they can coach him through it. So we will see. I wish I had a crystal ball so I would know if I was making the right choice. [/QUOTE]
