Well, of course you have to be reasonable. And I guess I think that compromise is a given in this sort of thing. But I think that if you don't ask, you won't get. If a child needs accomodations--as M22Gs' child seems to--then you have to ask for them. Mama22Gs is asking for how to get professional help to get those accomodations. I think that's a fair question, and I think a psych's report might be useful, at least a little.
She asked:
Does anyone have any suggestions about what questions to ask as you identify a professional you might want to work with? I'm not sure what level of advice is realistic to expect from a professional.
...
We're counting on the numbers to tell us how far he is from the middle, and hoping someone will be able to tell us, "Here's what I would do with DS7 if I were you..." and then give us some suggestions.
Has anyone had counseling in this regard that really worked for them?
Of course, we didn't use our report to advocate with a school, so I can't really say if it worked in that regard. But we DID get advice and it WAS specific and helpful to us.
Were we the only ones?
