Tricia, I agree with you. I have two midly special need FC and had to become a "specialized Home" The amount of training we need has doubled, the amount of in home visits have doubled, the SW does surprise visits to the kids school so she can talk to them alone and talk to their teachers.
I think a lot has to do with the SWs. There are some really awesome SWs and there are a few that don't do the visits that are required. So If you have a bad Sw and a bad FP/AP they can get away with a lot. If everyone is doing their job correctly I believe it would be extremely difficult to get away with this kind of stuff.
