[QUOTE="SRL, post: 110557, member: 701"] If you remove him and it doesn't work out, will he be able to return to this facility or could you afford/have insurance coverage to place him in another? I agree that children with neurological disorders rarely, if ever, change overnight as a result of one experience. If they did, most of us wouldn't need to be here! Having the DESIRE to make a change isn't the same as gaining the skills needed to change--it's only the first step. Real change takes time, training, practice in controlled settings, practice in semi-controlled settings, and finally trialing it out in the real world. It sounds like you would be removing him based on his desire to change, but cutting him off from the tools and support people who might be able to help him accomplish that. [/QUOTE]
