[QUOTE="shellyd67, post: 558221, member: 6371"] husband and I made it clear to the Counselor that "we" decide what treatment plan is best for difficult child. I would never let a teacher or any SD employee bully me into anything. I am quite a domineering woman and I usually try and set the tone for every meeting we have with SD. I make it VERY clear that I have extensive paperwork, notes, dr's evaluations, report cards, private testing, progress reports etc. I make them aware that I am on top of things to the fullest extent. I make them aware that I am holding them accountable and responsible as well. Where this may get difficult child, I sure as heck don't know but he has husband and I as advocates and always we are in his corner. We spoke with difficult child last night and really had a heart to heart with him and asked him what his feeling were about medications and did he think they helped him focus better than he his now. He said that his medications did help and he is quite aware of his lack of focus and concentration. husband and I are still mulling things over and just are as usual second guessing things. difficult child was scheduled for a Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) test over the summer but our Insurance won't cover it and the cost is high. We still owe the Children's Hospital thousands of dollars from when easy child had her surgery and treatment. The SD has agreed to do an IQ test on him and some other testing to try and pinpoint his weakest areas. I must admit the SD has been very accomodating and kind. I will keep you posted. As always, thanks for the advice and support. [/QUOTE]
