[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 353555, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Thank you all ~ it's been a busy couple of days. I had to prep for kt's IEP when I got home from the staffing yesterday morning. Concerns that need to addressed as kt is transitioning to adulthood. The meeting was more stressful than I anticipated. I completely fell apart (the first time I can remember doing this) & cried during the meeting. I felt my concerns were not being heard. It went from putting the need for supports on the table to "who's in charge" or "we need the therapist's to direct this". I kept asking where I fit into this. I finally spoke up & informed this group of professionals that this is not about kt; nor is it about wm ~ it's family & it's a family concern. That I, as the parent, felt I make very sensible, logical & safe decisions for my children. I need to be the head of this team or the treatment plan would keep drifting off, as it had been for the last few years when I was so very ill. I wasn't proud of how emotional I was ~ I'm not sure what was accomplished in an hour & a half other than a much smaller, more contained meeting is happening on the 26th. This doesn't & shouldn't be this involved. The plan is out there now - just need to keep shoving people forward. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
