THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSTED AT A MORE APPROPRIATE TIME! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AM GOING THROUGH ISSUES WITH THE SCHOOL, CHILDRENS SERVICES, ETC.
I HAVE A VERY INTELLIGENT AND CONCERNED DR. WHO IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE INS AND OUTS, SO I AM HOPEFUL THAT MY DAUGHTER WILL FINALLY GET THE HELP SHE SO NEEDS AND DESERVES. AT 14, I THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME.
THANK YOU AGAIN!
