[QUOTE="Janna, post: 233981, member: 2737"] In the schools defense, they are really telling you the only thing they can tell you. Get your daughter here and we'll work on the rest. My son is in a partial hospitalization program, and that's what they tell me. Just get him here. And, yes, once he's there, they have people to drag him off the van if need be, to get him into school, and then get him to stay there. Now, this isn't a regular school - it's a partial - but they will make him stay. I know you're totally stressed, but I would still have consequences for her not going to school. She wouldn't be watching TV, playing games, or doing anything else fun. We do school work at the dining room table during school hours if Dylan chooses not to go. It's never fun. I know the stressful feeling of your child not getting up and going. We've had a few good months, but that doesn't mean it can't go backwards. I hope things ease up for you. I'd definately, without a doubt, get an Advocate. I think I told you this yesterday. Call your Department of Education at the capital of whatever state you live in, and ask for a referral. The school won't be able to accept psychiatrist letters forever. Eventually your daughter is just going to be truant and consequences will come from that, whether that be fines (here in PA, they send fines) or whatever it is. And, when that time comes, you are going to need someone on your side. You definately need the Advocate. [/QUOTE]
