[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the replies, but just pull him out of counseling.  So what if it looks bad. The counselor can't report you for discontinuing therapy with her.  Get a private therapist and have your son see them.

Our son had a bad experience earlier this year - he was victim of something that involved the police coming and started a whole chain of events. The school keeps pushing for him to see the school counselor [b]and I could tell they get a little miffed that we keep refusing (writing in his IEP that we refuse services). [/b]But there is no way in hell I'm subjecting my SN child to a general school counselor who doesn't specialize in the specific things DC needs.  We found a therapist that specializes in his disability and the issue surrounding the event that occurred at the beginning of the school year.  She works with the exact issue my son is dealing with.  And, when there's a question about something he tells her - she calls me in after their session and talks to me about it.  It's so much more reasonable and responsible.  She doesn't just call the cops or cps when he mentions something offhand.

seriously, get your own therapist for your kid.  It's definitely worth it. [/quote]

Off topic but not completely (since IEP/504 disagreements can and do lead to CPS involvement): this seemed odd. If there is a disagreement about eligibility, since IDEA 2004 schools cannot force due process to force parents to accept services. (They could, however, plausibly refer as an educational neglect issue, in which case things get super murky in terms of law and in terms of how individual jurisdictions deal with it). If you mean there is an IEP and you are just disagreeing with a piece of the IEP, arguably you should  pursue resolutions processes (because what if kid really needs something else, by letting it go as a refusenik you are undermining your own procedural safeguards) -- although I can see it also being possible that just saying nope seems like the least awful way to deal with things.
