[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 405866, member: 6705"] I think taking the report to the counselor actually could HELP. Not letting them know the whole story just makes it harder for them. This comes from a LONG time not telling my (personal) counselor everything - and when I finally did - things changed. Go to the DOE - there are advocates. The school, and possibly district, simply don't want to help - because it does cost them! [URL]http://www.schools.utah.gov/[/URL] (under Departments, there's a section on Special Education.) The school isn't necessarily bad, but a risk assessment there could be totally different from one you do, or a psychologist does... Different settings can come up with different results. I would suggest you find a childrens' hospital and see if they have a behavioral department (you may have to say, "or something like that"). It's hardly fun to try and get services. But it's so necessary for our kids. Hugs... I understand. (And I also know how it feels to finally ask for help - scary. Very scary. Bye-bye pride. EEK!) [/QUOTE]
