My son goes to EXPRESSIONS BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE IN BELTON MISSOURI. I have been working with them for him with letting me change his diaper and wipe.. (he HATES to be wiped a big sensory thing for him) so he will get diaper rashes here and there. Well I have ACTIVELY been asking for help with this issue at his therapy…. And what did they do? They called child services on me for DIAPER RASH.. not even severe diaper rash, they called CHILD SERVICES on me for DIAPER RASH… so before you enroll your kiddo there… just be ready for things like that to happen, that causes stress to trickle down the whole household. SHAME ON YOU EXPRESSIONS SHAME ON YOU SMH. OH NEEDLESS TO SAY I MET WITH CHILD SERVICES (very nice too) THEY DID HOME CHECK AND CLOSED THE CASE. When people call they need to realize how much stress it causss the rest of the family… I mean DIAPER RASH… REALLY?
***update, and now they have kicked my son out of therapy… HORRIBLE COMPANY!
