[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 390920, member: 805"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]TeDo, I am sorry this happened. I know how pumped you were about his new IEP. I would have grabbed my cellphone and gone outside as soon as I got home and called this therapist! An email would not have been enough for me! You have sent an email, I would follow with a phone call today! Here's the thing. The toothpaste is out of the tube, so to speak - it can't be put back in. So now you have to find something to do with what's out. While you believe difficult child was ok and had no memory, imbedded within him is the knowledge. I believe it was absolutely wrong for the therapist to bring this up, especially at the first meeting in what, like three years? You would believe a good therapist would take the time over several appointments to get to know him again, find out what has been going on with him lately, make him feel comfortable talking, etc., before bringing this up. Not to mention, a good therapist would know if this is an issue. I believe you have to sit him down and be truthful in as simplest terms as possible. At 7, he is still a little boy. Your ignoring his request or saying "nothing" is likely going to cause more issues. I know this threw you for a loop, to say the least, and you didn't know what to do last night. But today is a new day and your chance to address both the therapist and difficult child. Let the therapist have it and speak to difficult child after school today. Lots of hugs to you as you revisit this difficult subject with difficult child - keep it as short and simple and age appropriate as possible.. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
