[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 482389, member: 1514"] Ok, get used to the medications thing. That is going to happen and you will end up hearing about it as it is happening or slightly later. If you have given them a list of medications he has been on and if they have had a severe reaction such as rash, hives, severe rages, etc...then I would just not worry about it. Let them handle medications. He is in a secure facility and they can monitor him. That first therapy appointment sounds about par for the course to be honest. difficult child was just not cooperative. As for future sessions, if I am right, you are a long ways away. I would ask if you could do every other therapy session by phone because of the distance. It can be done. They did it that way for me with Cory. They may not like it but tough cookies. they just put you on speaker phone. I would also email this therapist a note outlining what you feel the major needs are. He wants to know the triggers, give them to him in writing. Let him know a concise outlined report of difficult child. Doesnt need to be long but just a one or two page: here is difficult child, and this is what we need to work on now. [/QUOTE]
