We're in Canada, so we have different programs. Our school social worker tells me that we can get it covered through the school, though, as long as Keir also gives us some "educational consulting" strategies on dealing with his behaviour disorders. NOT what he'll be focussing on with A. but just to make sure it is covered. We SHOULD have had that months ago, anyway! None of the teachers here (I'm one of them) have any experience in dealing with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and he's driven his Teacher's Aide to the brink of a nervous breakdown ;-) Now, he's ALSO willing to go with me to see the Family Counsellor Ibut only with me) who works with our school board, and has all the right credentials, experience, and background. The caseworker doesn't like THAT either, since she isn't one of their contracted providers! I'm so frustrated because she initially told me he could choose, and now she wants to just arbitrarily assign someone. She did finally agree to cover SOME visits with the family counselor under the theory that it might avoid a potential placement disruption.
