[QUOTE="WSM, post: 279446, member: 5169"] It took me about an hour, but I wrote plenty in the narrative section. I emphasized: believe the parents, provide resources and [B]how to obtain the resources[/B], don't automatically assume everything can be fixed by drugs or behavior modification or parental training, and respect how much the parents know about the child. I actually said it was meaningless to tell parents about resources if they had no idea of how to actually get the resources to the child. "He should be in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC)" is meaningless if the doctor/specialist can't arrange to have him put into one. Saying, 'this is what he needs' and good luck winning the lottery of resource allocation is worse than saying, I don't think I can be much help. The second statement is honest, the first just burdens and frustrates parents. [/QUOTE]
