[QUOTE="klmno, post: 156825, member: 3699"] It's a long story Susie, but in short, I got my son out of detention by proving that he needed treatment and by having it lined up for him. So, since the judge couldn't just let him go free, she wrote in his order that he had to follow this treatment. They would pay for A treatment- but I already know he would be sent to the county agency, whish is the LAST place I would want him to go (you would have to know what they are like here- I tried it 2 years ago- I think they are incompetent in EVERY way here.) And, at one point they were sending MST over here to do a behavior contract. I took that before the judge to get that requirement removed. So, more time, energy, and attny fees for me to prove that a behavior contract will never cure BiPolar (BP) or mood cycling and that this guy's 2+ required meetingss each week and desire to be involved in writing IEP and accompanying us to any other therapist appointment (which he really didn't want us to have to begin with) was interfering with the appropriate treatment that my difficult child should be getting. The judge ruled in my favor. I am more than happy to provide it - Oh, I am glad the the GAL asked what hyppomania was. I just think she should have asked last year, once we had the diagnosis and I presented it to the courts. She has since appeared in court four times to make recommendations to the judge about what would be best for my difficult child. Shouldn't she have found out what his diagnosis really means and what the characteristics are and what is the recommended treatment first? The judge puts most weight on what the GAL requests- it was the GAL who requested MST. She didn't have a clue what treatment my son should be getting. She recommended the "county standard" and what the county had available. I'll move if I ever need assistance from my local agencies. This may be what I have to do soon. [/QUOTE]
