[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 23803, member: 23"] As you know, it's very difficult to parent a special needs child. So much to do; so much to learn. I've said 1,000+ times that my son really should have come with an Operating Manual. Self-educating about disability law and school is an additional item on our "must do" list. It's not something that can be done overnight; it takes time. Just keep reading and learning. There are a lot of advocates and advocacy agencies throughout the United States. Even so, they can be difficult to locate. One place to start looking for an advocate to help you is at [url]http://www.yellowpagesforkids.com[/url] . Early on, I was under the impression that educators knew the best way to deal with my son. I was wrong for many reasons. Early on, I was under the impression that doctors and other MH and disability professionals I've taken the long way to explain why multidisciplinary evaluations are so important. More often than not, takes a team of professionals from different fields to sort everything out. The sd evaluation is a multidisciplinary evaluation. Which brings me to why it's important to get a copy of your child's evaluation prior to the IEP meeting and IEEs (Independent Education Evaluation). This is getting ahead of game here, but you should know that if you do not agree with the school district's evaluation, you can request an IEE. It's at school district expense. I know medicating a child is a difficult decision for parents. And I know it's difficult to get the right medication(s) in place. Other than that, I'm of no help in that area other than saying that if you are not comfortable with difficult child's psychiatrist, I'd find a different Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist to manage medications.
