[quote=Anonymous]How does a decoy phone work? I'm interested in this.

I assume if I can't scrounge up one lying around that I buy one used, but do I need to activate it? Or just make sure the battery works and it turns on?

DD has anxiety and diagnosed PTSD from elementary school. She was in a classroom with two kids with explosive behavior issues. Her class had to evacuate at least once a week and we ended up pulling her out with 3 months left of the school year because of nonstop panic attacks while in class over the anxiety of when another outburst would come and if she would be on the receiving end of it that time.

Her anxiety has been well controlled for 4 years now but she said not having access to her phone is making her feel very trapped and anxious. We restarted CBT 3 weeks ago to refresh her coping mechanisms. Her Psychiatrist wanted to try 8 weeks of CBT and a slightly increased medication dose up from her maintenance dose before any intervention with the school that would allow for her to keep her phone. This decoy method would be far easier.

And no, DD has never had any phone issues at school. She's never been caught using her phone. She's never had it taken in the past. I've never even received a text from her during school hours. I fully believe she would not have any use issues and would support any consequences that came if she were "caught".     [/quote]
