[QUOTE="klmno, post: 346440, member: 3699"] Socially maladaptive is a particular buzz word when it comes to sd's and IEP eligibility. I don't quite get it either- I think it's another one of those words that means one thing to sd's and another if you're involved in the life of a difficult child outside of school. That part about difficult child being emotionally mature - I read it like this- he's concluding that since difficult child has the cognitive ability, it must mean that he's choosing not to focus or reflect better about speicific incidents. That seems worrisome to me for a psychiatric to draw that conclusion when he had just written that he was emotionally immature- can a very intelligent 5yo be expected to act like a 9yo just because his IQ might be that high? If we're talking about ability to process feelings, apprise situations, interpret others' actions, those things aren't based on cognitive ability alone. They do relate to how mature a person is and if the person doesn't have the maturity to add things up better, that doesn't mean they are choosing to not handle it any better. This guy needs to read TEC, LOL! I'm glad this guy is going to be at the eligibility meeting next week. Another thing- he wrote that he suggested following a Mr. M's recommendations regarding difficult child's academic growth, but I have no idea who Mr. M is or what recommendations he's referring to. The psychiatric is catually very qualified and used to be difficult child's private therapist, which is why I specifically requested him for the IEE. However, he too made mistakes in the report and quoted the sd psychiatric from her report a whole lot instead of approaching this like an Independent evaluation offering his own, second opinion. I was a little disappointed from that standpoint but think the state wasn't paying him diddly and he didn't spend much time on it. I think difficult child will be found eligible so I'm not going to beat this horse anymore with the sd. He did portray difficult child in a more humanistic way - unlike the sd psychiatric who made it sound like difficult child was about to turn into Cho and everyone at school should fear him and watch him like a hawk- which had been my first concern because that would have tipped difficult child over the edge about one week into returning to mainstream. Anyway, I'm to a point where I doubt anyone is going to read these things unless difficult child gets into Department of Juvenile Justice or big trouble at school- unless maybe he does apply for college someday.
