[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]from the 10:06 poster: Don't rely too heavily on the school's disability services. I know this varies by school but they are typically stretched pretty thin. If your child has a Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression or other mental illness diagnosis, try to have an existing therapy support in place. Virtual has been amazing. I think our kid wouldn't have lasted in school a week without it. [/quote] +1 A kid with GAD may find navigating the new institution systems an added burden right at the start of school--better to continue virtual therapy. But one of their actions should be to work with the disability services to get their accommodations on file. That way they have recourse, for instance if they have a panic attack and miss something important--there is established grounds to reschedule the test or have their absence considered excused.[/quote]
