Hi Psyche, Welcome. Sorry you have having a rough time. It must be especially disheartening to have a plan in place, and no one following it!

Anyway, you don't have to re-invent the wheel as far as parent support groups, though -

See if your State gifted association can put you in touch with some one who has experience with those.

Best Wishes,
