This will be tough - especially if the parents don't seem interested..Develop an individualized plan - include lunch "buddies" that make sure she's eating, i'd also suggest monitoring use of the br after eating (really tough in the school setting tho...
Cheerful Sorry to hear how bad it's been - maybe with all the hugs from her (foot and back massages, too) you can make it through your committment - did they have a clause that if you didn't stay, you paid part back ((pro-rated, by months?) If not, m...

Jules, I empathize for you, your sister adn your neice. I agree with Nanacy, an in-patient stay for stabilization of medications seems to be warrranted. I work inpatient child/adolescent psych, and we see these types of cases on a regular basis. P...
I spent about 12 hours in the ER with my 17 year old after our indoor cat bit her in between the thumb and index finger. My daughter thought she'd give the cat a bath - he didn't want it!!! Anyway, we cleansed it well and applied neosporin, in less ...

Does anyone have good ideas for other activities? We recently lost both our OT adn COTA positions and now are responsible for this group also. We've been doing some crafts adn games - pictures, frames, art projects. I'm really running out of ideas...

When I graduated (20 plus years ago), we all wore white, we were even told what length of sleeves to wear. That was after the striped dress and apron during school. Caps were presented during our second semester, adn the ceremony was beautiful, adn ...
I personally don't see this as a generaltional type of disagreement. As stated earlier, fashion trends come and go. When I graduated (years ago) we wore the traditional "whites", and everyone was appalled with the one piece jumpsuits. Working in t...
