[QUOTE="klmno, post: 438952, member: 3699"] I'm not sure who put up the last post, but I have called. It sounds like a great program and an environment that could really serve difficult child well- truly an "in-between" place from Department of Juvenile Justice and home in a family environment. I guess they adjust the cost based on a number of items and they don't determine that until after it's an application is reviewed and accepted. It's not a locked environment so I don't know that PO would go along with this without keeping difficult child monitored by a PO there (difficult child would have to go to one out of state). Still, all that is possible if PO would go along with it. Logically, any fool would consider it better and holding difficult child no less acountable than one of Department of Juvenile Justice's group home's here. But, again, our CSU doesn't base decisions on logic. Anyway, I have put a call into PO to see if he would consider this before I pursue it further. Let's just say I won't be shocked if they won't consider it- remember how they hung up my plans for the HI move and difficult child going to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) before when I even had funding lined up for it. Not their idea = kid doesn't go, typically. The application has to include a recent psychiatric evaluation- not sure how I could pull that off but I might be able to get one done on difficult child while he's incarcerated. They need a social hx by a MH professional but said they'd accept one by the school psychiatric. Here's the big thing- difficult child has to want to go and has to write a letter saying that he does and what he wants to get out of it, etc. [/QUOTE]
