[QUOTE="klmno, post: 225495, member: 3699"] Thanks Marg & Terry! the phone woke me up after I'd slept 4 1/2 hours so I'm still drinking coffee trying to open my eyes. It was regular psychiatrist- he said the new medication might help but it's no big deal- he said we won't leave difficult child on it a real long time,probably and it won't interfere with any other medications he's on or that we're considering. Then, social worker called. She said I should continue pushing the school to recommend the county team and I should apply for the medicaid waiver and disability. She said if the school won't recoomend county team after iep meeting, the get the PO involved and go that route.. (I'm trying to avoid that route because then it becomes a court order and the PO choses services, not me and if I don't accept them or don't let them all order me around, I'd be in contempt of court) As far as the waiver, she said difficult child might not get it but she thought he might and it would allow getting difficult child all the services I want without using county mental health- so there is nothing to lose by trying. Then, regarding the disability from SS, she said people usually get turned down until the third time- sometimes they make it through the second time. So, it will take a while. She said I she would put in the discharge papers that the financial and other stressors at home are contributing to difficult child's depression,. I asked her to do this- I hope I don't end up regretting it. [/QUOTE]
