Are we being counseled out?

How much longer will she need PT? Eventually PT ends and those late appointments free up. In my case, I had to take inconvenient times in the beginning but was able to get much better times a few weeks out. If she has many more weeks to go, check now to see when the late times open up.

It can be a sign of many things going on at home. I'd really do a better job of making school a priority.

How can anyone be this stupid? PT is a medical absence. It absolutely does not warrant a CPS call in a public school unless they want a lawsuit.

You live in a bubble. Kids not attending school regularly and missing a large percentage of school is absolutely a red flag. Now with a doctor's note, that's a different story. PT can be done on weekends and before/ after school. It might not be the most convenient but can be done sorry.

First, I'm sure this was very traumatic for your daughter (and you) and I hope she is getting better.

Maybe they just want to discuss her missing assignments or how you can catch her up on things?

I assume this is ES. I can't imagine it's that much of an issue. And I'm guessing she's not going to be in PT forever.

I really easily get myself worked up about this kind of stuff, and it may not be as serious as you are thinking. I can't imagine they are counselling you out.

She has notes for each late arrival and early dismissal! Why do people keep assuming she doesn't? Also, when this started, we were scheduled four months out and STILL couldn't get those desirable 4 pm slots.

Middle school. Straight A's. No missed assignments (we don't tolerate that, even if they did). We're literally talking a half hour here and there. But you're right - maybe I'm worked up about it.

OP, you are doing your kid a huge disservice by pulling your kid out of school weekly for PT. Find another PT office that has late hours or weekend hours. You sound like an a-hole

OP, DCUM crowd is hit or miss. Sometimes supportive and sometimes cruel. Just ignore them.

Is your daughter happy at said school and wants to stay? If so then go into the meeting with the headset that you are going to make things right for her make sure you have all paperwork and documentation. PT is a pain to schedule but you may have to find another pt place. Some have evening hours. Still your school sounds awful to be honest in their approach to this meeting/discussion.

We do not live in the DMV anymore. This is the only clinic who takes peds, and they close at 5 every day. Not open weekends. Must be nice to be live in an area where evening and weekend PT is a thing. Really. DH is tired of me complaining about these restrictions. I am not used to living like this.

I'm starting to think half this thread has no clue what PT actually is for a pediatric patient following a broken leg.

This is not akin to an athlete with some knee pain, this is truly medically necessary. Poor girl's not done growing, that leg needs to heal right or it could cause a lifetime of problems.

I am very familiar and it has been at least 3 months. Kid just needs to use her leg already.

Why did you sign a contract???? After this incident.

Who cares what the administration is doing. I’d pull her out right away regardless. That’s a horrible situation. Do they not have supervision on the playground?

[Anonymous]

The reality is that this could happen in public with a weak administration and apathetic staff/faculty as well. This is not a public private debate. This is a weak administration issue.

Didn't know that you're a licensed PT and ortho. Let's all save money and let know it all mommy diagnose and treat our kids.
