Normal to feel low after Educational Psych meeting?

[HollowBones]

Me, not ds. He's tired, but has a plan in place for tomorrow and will hopefully manage the day.
But I feel exhausted. And a little judged, even though she said she could see why we'd put some of the routines in place, she kept pressing the point of me protecting and not supporting ds, but didn't give any concrete examples of how I should be supporting him. I'm not going to leave him in school in a distressed state if the routine we and the school are using aren't working (I feel the school wanted more from it also). I suppose my expectations were too high that this would have eased some things either immediately or within a short time frame, and I've come away realising how long this journey will be.

I'm not sure what I want from the thread really, but I dont have anyone irl that is understanding without judgement.

She shouldn’t be judging you. I am sorry you have been made to feel that way. Was this the LA’s EP?

Hi @flawlessflipper, yes the psych attached to the school. It felt like she decided to tell/show me certain things even though they weren't relevent (I felt) after speaking both before and after her meeting ds, sort of labouring a point that both I and the school staff member had commented on.

I work email the EP to raise it with her.

I think like all professionals some EP are better than others and anyone can have an off day.

Did you get a chance to speak to her before the visit? When we had an EP report for EHCP I got a half hour phone call with him for information gathering and I was able to ask questions (I wasn't in school for the actual assessment).

Who booked the EP visit - the school? What was the purpose? Are there specific things you're hoping will be in their report?
