[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 574992, member: 12856"] We had our first visit yesterday and I can visit again today. The facility is not far from where I live and much easier to get to then juvie. He called me as I was leaving the house to tell me he needed me to get him some shoes. The co confirmed that they did not have any size thirteens and I could bring a pair of new in the box slip on canvas shoes under $40 dollars. I lucked out. Payless was on the way and they had 1 pair in his size. They will reimburse me the 22 dollars. I just love when things fall in place. My son was super excited about wearing real shoes again and not rubber shower shoes. Every person working in the visitation area introduced themselves to my son and shook his hand. Every kid that walked into the visit area shook hands with the people at the desk and said "Goodafternoon Mr. so and so" The kids are expected to learn the names of all the people they will encounter on a regular bases and they are expected to do a formal greeting. From reading the parent handbook, it appears that they use the Boys Town Model to teach appropriate social skills. Kiddo spent the better part of the visit going over the things he has to do in the orientation phase of the program. There are 14 things that they have to master to move to the next level. He is nervous about remembering all of them. [/QUOTE]
