With the ease of cameras to watch what is going on in the room, that should be an easy request. How hard can it be to put a skype camera in there? Set it up in the corner of the room, start it before entering the session and it will be taken care of.

Good for you and your wife. All professionals are here to support you in your role as a parent. I advice listening to their counsel and then making your decision for your child. Your decision may go against professional advice. So be it. This applies for teachers, attorneys, doctors, etc... NO ONE cares about your child as much as you do. You, the parents, have the right to inspiration for your family.

Good luck.
