[QUOTE="klmno, post: 149960, member: 3699"] Thanks, Lisa! Smallworld, your idea of day treatment is what I'm shooting for- hopefully, it will come as a recommendation from the psychiatric hospital. Also, the PO needs to back off a little on dictating the punishments that I am to use at home- I think she pushes her authority a little too much. It is times like that when I'm glad a gal is on board to consider other aspects- like this kind of punishment/discipline just makes difficult child worse. The po does not know what triggers difficult child, that "forever" types of losing priviledges probably isn't a good idea with a manic difficult child who's 13 yo, etc, I feel like my avatar looks right now- I hope difficult child can get some sleep- he just asked before I left if I'd come to every visitation that I could... (I always have!) The staff there was the same- that was good because they remebered him and remebered that he had been compliant with medications and all- never caused any problem- and pointed out that they knew I understood what was going on and that they knew I was doing what I felt I had too- and of course, that they thought he needed some medication changes on an in-patient basis. I hope that the sd can get a clue now. The day treatment people told me that they figure out what is needed and send the difficult child back to their sd with a valid iep in hand when they go back to regular school- I think that is great because the iep isn't written around what the sd wants to provide- it is written the way it should be- based on what difficult child needs to thrive. I just hope their day treatment doesn't have the same rule about any charges- I could understand if there are places where they won't allow violent offenders, but difficult child is not a violent offender (that aggressive side only comes out at home- and fortunately, I've never been hurt and he's never hurt our animals or anyone else, etc.- most people agree that even though he rages and gets destructive at home when he isn't stable, he is actually a bigger threat for self-harming.)
