I think I like this therapist

[Parents! Get help here!]

Today, I got my DD's Therapist to agree that hygiene has to be a goal. 

finally! A professional who agrees that my kid stinks, and that has to change quickly.  In the near future, unless the kid showers, brushes her teeth, and wears freshly laundered clothing, she will not be seen.

It's been a 8 year journey to get to this point!

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Fantastic, sounds like you kept making your point until someone listened, good for you---sometimes we have to advocate for ourselves and for our loved ones.  Continued hope for improvement!
