IsItFridayYet?
Our county agency has what they call and intra-agency board. Consists of people from JO, childrens and family services, county health department, youth services, educational services, a private mental health agency, the university mental health service department, and the regional center/county agency.
What is supposed to happen is someone makes a referrel to this board (with parental consent) and this board gets together and looks at a kiddo or family and offers what services/ideas they or their agency can provide to support this kiddo or family.
I just got an email from SpEd Dir wanting to make this referral. Thing is, the only ones in that list above that AREN'T already involved is child and family services, and possibly JO (there is still no report on Wee on file there).
At the end of the 2009 school year, we had a round table discussion with Wee's docs at the university. And they didn't implement a single one of the suggestions made. I have no less than 15 letters from professionals that work with Wee that have the same basic requirements for working with Wee...things we are still trying to get implemented. Why would I want to do this again?
I think something is up.
