[QUOTE="klmno, post: 383935, member: 3699"] This is what I referred to in a previous thread as a "county team". It isn't so much about who;'s there- it's about them having access to funding that the individual agencies don't. I'll try to explain- in my son's case, he needed services not provided by Department of Juvenile Justice funding. That's isn't the same as saying he couldn't get these services THRU Department of Juvenile Justice- just that the "people" had decided that the portion allocated specifically for Department of Juvenile Justice services would only be spent on service A, B, or C, and my son needed service D. Department of Juvenile Justice - or any of the agencies- and recommend then that the case goes to the county "team". The team has access to a bigger pool of funding. Whatever reps are there from agencies the kid doesn't need just doesn't really get involved. It's law that each agency have a rep there though. It's the fact that a member from each agency forms this team that allows them to access the bigger money. That's how I was trying to get difficult child's placement in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and funding for it, initially. I think this could be a good thing. What they are telling you is that the sd doesn't have resources to educate your child and they know it. They also know they HAVE to but it will take more resources and they don't have approval or funding for them. This is how they access it. You need to be agreeable but make sure you attend- the parent has a right to attend in most cases. If you refuse this, it will most definitely come back to haunt you if you try to take the sd to due process. This path will keep you in the loop and allow you to continue advocating for what you think Wee needs. And there will be a bigger pool of funding to get more services- whether at school, community for social skills, etc. So, in my son's case as example, Department of Juvenile Justice funding won't cover Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but the "team" can approve to pay for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and Department of Juvenile Justice handle it. Your county "team" can approve more funding to the sd that would specifically go to a certain service/services for Wee. So he would be getting the service thru the sd- they were the path to it and they will be the ones engaging in the service as well. I hope I made that clear. My brain is overloaded this week. The down side is that depending on what service they determine he needs, they can take over the lives of your whole family. [/QUOTE]
