[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 695189, member: 1233"] One psychologist we adored read it all. She is the one who got the 1500 page entire psychiatric hospital file for me also. Technically she was not supposed to pass it on, but they wanted 75 cents per page and it was ridiculous. I wanted to know what had gone on there. What the PR did was let ME find the info in a few seconds where my memory could be spotty when asked if we had done this or that. The report also let ME keep up iwth the current problems and with past ones that had yet to be addressed. It took time and I loathe paperwork, but it was well worth it. I did keep sections on medication lists past and present, etc... When we settled into a child psychiatric/developmental pediatrician, I made sure he had a copy of what we had to date and I insisted he read at least the medication section, testing results section and the section on who he was to me. I actually sat there as he read it because past doctors had clearly lied about reading it. I paid for his time and insisted that he read it - I felt that was fair and after explaining it, so did he. Of course he was not a big ego jerk like so many of the docs we saw, which helped. I am glad your parochial school is vastly different than the ones where I grew up and where my oldest 2 started school. I have yet to be in places where intelligence was less respected or bullying was more an avocation of the adults as well as the children. Sure, being smarter than my teachers didn't ever make me popular, but the area we now live is far more tolerant and accepting, and the few adults who are in the schools for the sake of the power they can wield over kids just don't last long here. At my parochial school growing up, that is the main function as near as I can see. I even decided I had been too hard on them and went to interview them to see if I wanted my son there. I had never seen more miserable children in my life - because unless they were ostracizing another child or being mean, they were in trouble. I still ahve not seen or heard of such cruelty. It was a nun who gave me my first ugly taunt, and I was sad to see other nuns being cruel to children when I went back to inspect the school. So I am THRILLED your school is far different! I do strongly also suggest that each doctor has a photo of your child in the front of the file - ask to see it at visits. It is a tip that has been proven to help the doctor keep children straight even if they don't want to admit it. [/QUOTE]
