[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 462903, member: 1169"] On a more personal note... Is your son willing to attend the TBS? If not, how will you get him there? will he run? Don't focus on what he'll miss this year if he goes to TBS. Focus on what will be missing from his life if he doesn't improve. Then determine if you think TBS in general and this TBS in particular can give him a chance to improve. These schools are very expensive. Please understand that they cannot guarentee that your son will improve or that any improvement will be long lasting. Many times Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/TBS success rates are measured simply by the number of children that are not admitted to a psychiatric hospital/Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/jail in the 12 months after they finish the program. Most parents have a higher standard for success, although for some children that may be as good as it gets. [/QUOTE]
