[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 360691, member: 805"] Sharon, I certainly hope the insurance company reconsiders. difficult child needs more stability before release. Any way his psychiatrist can speak with the insurance company and let them know the gravity of his current situation? Unfortunately, easy child/difficult child is acting like a typical teenage girl. Not wanting to go see her brother after school is typical - especially for a teenager - she wants to get home and get on the computer, or the phone, or nap, or watch tv..........Skipping class is another issue that is not a difficult child-maker. While my easy child never skipped a class in high school (she was too afraid of getting caught!), I don't think it's unusual in the least that it happen. It's the habitual skipping you will have to keep an eye out for. Set a consequence for this long weekend. She knows you and husband don't appreciate the skipping, being teachers and all! Tell her there will be no tv or computer use until she proves she has finished all school assignments on Saturday. Tell her that way she has two days to do what she wants if she gets the school work out of the way on Saturday. Don't leave her any wiggle room. In a perfect world she would understand the stress the family is in and be a little more accommodating.....but she is a teenager.... I am guessing here that as you complete that FBA and start tweaking the BIP, the suspension issues will be listed as the manifestations of his multiple disabilities and then the point is mute. Having a good BIP is the protection he needs. Lots of hugs to you Sharon - here's a huge wish that you can have a relaxing three-day weekend! Sharon [/QUOTE]
