OK, now I am seriously nervous. Meeting next week with teachers, child study team head, and principal. All of a sudden I'm doubting myself completely. I've emailed our team to get a list of what DS needs/should have, and will research on my own. They are truly nice people and do care about DS. Maybe I should bring the psychologist to the meeting. After all, how will we know what to agree to without checking back.
What are you doubting? You know your DS's needs aren't being met. Is this just stage fright?
Having the psych there isn't a bad idea, if you think s/he would back your play. It might even let you play good cop to the psych's bad cop: ala "This kid needs much more than what you're suggesting!"
That's not a bad way to go!
Is it possible for your DH to be there for the meeting? They tend to listen better to men, though I think that's just painfully sexist!
But if you need to go it alone, you can do it. You know what's right for your DS, and you can stand up for him to get it.
