| When I think, remember, imagine, dream - there are no 'pictures' or 'video' no visual at all. Only words and emotions... no sound that isn't my own voice.

While she is the employee, she's also the specialist. If she didn't have knowledge and expertise that the parents don't have, then the parents... |

| Does the TSS tell you why she won't try to implement your suggestions about how to work with your son or does she just ignore you?
