Has anyone felt totally judged by a child therapist?

[QUOTE="ahhjeez, post: 719626, member: 16999"] When things were at the worst for my son in school and the IEP meeting became adversarial I ended up hiring an advocate. She was some of the best money I ever spent. Your daughters school sounds wonderfully supportive so that doesn't seem to be your situation, but you do mention feeling intimidated dealing with them. Plus the advocate was aware of services and things to ask for that I wasn't. She was totally on my son's side and it just took a lot of the pressure and anxiety off me in dealing with the school at the time. I just didn't know what to ask for or really, what he was entitled to. Eventually he got into an amazing SPED collaborative that our district has and the advocate was no longer necessary. I'm not sure if there are free Special Education advocates out there. I'm sure there must be. I really like Susie's idea of therapeutic animals also. [/QUOTE]
