[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 577591, member: 4264"] Glad he had a better morning and you two discussed it a little. About the meeting, I hear you about worrying a team meeting with psychiatrist wouldn't change anything possibly and how upsetting that will feel for you. At the same time, please set up the meeting, waste no time about it. Your J has not a thing to lose. At worst, things remain unchanged and you are back to the drawing board about seeing if any other options exist out there. At best, the team "gets it" and follows up with changes, or at least if they don't truly get it, they agree to implement helpful changes and see how that goes. Down the middle, they could agree but be pitiful in their changes and require future meetings to tweak and perfect the plan to help/change as well as to continue to educate them. The only time J loses absolutely without a doubt, is if everyone plugs along doing what their doing. Arrange the meeting, plot the intent and the approach ahead of time. Focus on the biggest needs of J in the first meeting. At completion of the meeting, pre arrange a new meeting date to follow up and assess what is working and what is not working after they've had a decent period of time to get into the swing of things with the new approaches to managing J. If there are no IEP type things where you are, perhaps use a US version and tweak it to be a little less formal. Bring it to the meeting and explain how a US IEP works, the reason they exist and the process of coming back for future meetings to continue tweaking the IEP when and where needed. Let them know that you find the idea helpful and though it isnt legally binding as in the US, It would make a great voluntary guideline for the staff with concrete written outcomes for J. Hopefully they will surprise you and be receptive. I just don't see what you've got to lose by giving it a go, but I see no good coming from not attempting it. Wishing you and J luck as always. I always have a good feeling at how it will all work out for J. You're very attentive to his needs, so in the end he's in good hands. Hope you get your meditation outing next week. Down time without parenting is so important. [/QUOTE]
