I don't know what to expect from his school at all. Are pedi neurologists usually covered by insurance if referred by the primary pedi?
The guidance counselor at our school is a witch to put it mildly and we don't like each other. Not sure what role she'd play in all of this, but I found out from a friend of mine, not even from my son, that she'd been taking him away from his recesses in June and walking and talking with him without my knowledge. I am all for guidance, but why not make me aware? Why under the radar? Do you know she never contacted me after all the interaction with my son? My friend noticed them alone a few times while picking up her DD from the school for appointments and asked why? It was news to me and my son told me when I asked about it.
On the 2nd day of 1st grade, he cried and cried, his teacher just about had gained his trust and I was ready to walk away. I reassured him I would be back for him, he was safe, etc...out of nowhere, the guidance counselor wretched him from me, turned him around and said very loudly - "I HAVE A GIRL IN MY OFFICE WHO'S MOTHER IS DYING AND I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR, NOW YOU NEED TO STOP!!". I grabbed her arm, took it off of my son's wrist and said " DON'T YOU EVER wretch my son from me again, don't ever touch him again - it's obvious that this girl needs you now, we don't!". The principal watched me and I was waiting for him to have a word with me, but didn't ask to even though I would have been happy to talk to him about it.
I'm so afraid of my son being "labeled" and I don't trust this woman to keep things confidential either, I mean who are the only ones that are supposed to be "in the know" at school about children with disorders/behavorial issues?
