[quote=Anonymous]I think it is an immensely helpful resource. I have benefited greatly and I try to share my experiences because I was successful in getting services and a nonmainstream placement. Also one of my kids has intense MH issues and many people struggle with getting services in that area.

What I see is a lot more arguing - things like that MH can be cured with better parenting. For example the current school refusal thread. If only that OP made her house boring her kid would be begging to go to school. Fix your parenting and you will have fixed your problem.  This is not to ignore that we need to be on top of our parenting game.

I also see SN parents posting but then Wanting to dig in their heels when all of the advice they received is consistent and contrary with the way they want it to be. That’s easier to tolerate though because we all know how hard the road is and sometimes a temper tantrum is what we need before we can take a deep breath and do what’s needed.

Finally I see SN parents insisting that their experience is the only right one which completely ignored that so many things are governed by state law and vary by school system and even schools within the system. For example those threads that insist a kid must be evaluated within a particular number of days after the request when that’s state law specific so there is not one right answer.

I do hope people keep asking for advice and that people who I know and have been through it keep sharing their wisdom. [/quote]
