[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 291881, member: 1169"] It sounds like you have a good one this time. We have to get our tdocs through our county mental health as well. There are good ones, bad ones and nice but ineffective ones. Just play the game. If they want to try something, let them. If it doesn't work at least they feel like you cooperated. I have it in my standard parent report that token economies do not work as behavior mod for Tigger and I have a list of who tried it with him and the results. I promise you that each new person (whether therapist or school) insists on trying a token economy cause "they always work [I]if you do them right[/I]. They waste weeks of their time and then they usually begin to understand that mom has a clue about her own child. I like the idea about the mentor taking him to the therapist appointment. Maybe you can also find someone (either a college kid or a stay-at-home mom that would be willing to be a driver -- it would cost less to pay them to drive him than it would to lose another job.)
