Good grief!!!

For a number of years now my daughter has been requesting that a neuropsych workup be done on my grandson. No one has ever followed through with it.

She just found out today from the psychiatrist at the hospital who is seeing my grandson that on his first visit there in 2006, they did neuropsych testing on him and never told her it was done. They said at that time he refused to do much of the testing. But even so, there was significant information to be had from the parts of the test that he did complete that may have made a world of difference in his schooling and his IEP. We are so boiling mad right now it's not funny.

Not one bit of the results were sent to his mental health team or his school team or his mother. What the hell is going on here? Another "oops" and he falls through the cracks?? Oh well, suck it up, it's 5 years later and it is what it is. Bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, my daughter told the psychiatrist that she wanted the balance of the test done with her son when he is stablized and it was agreed upon. She also went to his current school and requested all of his paperwork and reports as she is taking him out of there and putting him in another school. It was agreed upon by the psychiatrist/social worker/another team member that he should be removed from the current school as things are not going well there. Come to find out they haven't provided him with all that is stated he needs in his IEP. He's to have a 1:1 aid during the whole school day. He has never had one since starting this school in Sept. Who the hell are they to say "Well, we have enough staff here that if we see he needs assistance someone can help him". DOH!!!!!!!!!! By the time you know he's having issues it's too late ya MORONS! He's already worked up and unable to self regulate and that's when crap hits the fan. Someone needs to be with him to "see" how he is behaving BEFORE he freaks out, not try to calm him afterwards.

At times like this it's easy to feel that ignorance and stupidity reign over the world. I know, I don't mean that exactly but what the hell......there is just no excuse for this and my poor grandson is the one who pays the price for it. Damned SWINES!

Rant over now........thanks!
