[QUOTE="slsh, post: 400975, member: 8"] I'd probably phrase it along the lines of she must have received some incorrect information since the underlying major issue is Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), not an attachment issue (or if you've not shared the Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) info, just say that attachment issues have not been identified in the private evaluations and treatment that you've obtained for difficult child). If you're leery of signing a release, if the issue comes up you could just ask her to forward any questions she has for private providers to you and you will see that she gets the information she needs (you can have the provider answer the questions and then send back to you before you forward on to her). If she questions why you are a gatekeeper, I think it's perfectly reasonable to explain that you are concerned about having nonessential mental health history and information being indiscriminately disseminated. You're not trying to hide anything, but since the SD will not be addressing his global mental health needs, they do not need to have free access to his mental health records. If you think he still needs speech and Occupational Therapist (OT) through the SD, you could do the same thing in terms of getting the info to them. I know (trust me, I *know*) how hard it is not to lump all school staff in the same pain-in-the-posterior class, but it sounds like this lady could actually set the principal straight on some things. Try to view her as an ally until/unless she proves otherwise. [/QUOTE]
