[QUOTE="witzend, post: 159041, member: 99"] I'm glad that you started this post. I also have no clue about neuropsychologist testing or medications or IEPs because those (unfortunately) were not things that we did with L or M. We did do a lot of behavioral therapy with M, a lot of talk therapy, so I have an opinion on those things that I feel qualified to share. The thing I feel best about the people on the board is when we move on from the quivering bundle of nerves that brought us here to the people who are sympathetic and offer advice to others about what we have learned. You know then that they have been helped here. The "soft place to land" thing and I are begrudging friends. Just as we do with our children, we want to console and heal those of us who came here with the acute injuries of raising the difficult children. And just as we do with our children, the goal is that people will become strong enough to spread their wings and fly on their own again. Otherwise they are crippled and we are more of a crutch than a cure. If they stick around and help, that's wonderful. If they fly on in full recovery, that's great too. If they come back for a boost from time to time, that's alright, but they have to realize that their story won't be fresh in our minds, and many of the people who were here before are gone as well. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
