[QUOTE="Andy, post: 395007, member: 5096"] difficult child's counselor should have a supervisor to oversee things while she is gone. In our facility, the counselor's supervisor would be able to take phone calls and get answers. You have the right to call the facility, ask for the supervisor and explain that you are calling him/her only because the counselor is out of the office until Wednesday and you would like information on what is going on. Or, is the supervisor the guy who runs the program and in which case calling him will not help. Another suggestion is to perhaps call the head nurse (if there is a nursing staff at difficult child's facility - we have nurses at our treatment center) and ask for a report from the medical side of it (has medications been changed due to his behavior since the incident?) to maybe get more of the story. Ask for an appeal of the decision. That would indicate that an investigation would arise to readdress all sides and determine if the decision was made in haste. I would think that before a priviledge was revoked, staff should have attempted to figure out what he thought was disrespectful and apologize for that appearance. Then perhaps explain what the intent really was behind the words or action. If difficult child can calmly follow a process to find out information without the anger involved, this will be a huge step in indicating that he is ready for discharge. [/QUOTE]
