[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 270535, member: 5941"] I hired an ed consultant to help find an appropriate placement for my then 15 year old difficult child (now sixteen). We ended up doing something different, but from my limited experience with two very respected ed consultants, one based in upstate NY, the other in Idaho, I found them to be remarkably similar in that they recommended the same thing: immediate placement in a wilderness program followed by placement in an emotional growth or therapeutic boarding school. Several of the schools were from the well-known Aspen educational consortium (they may be for profit, not sure) which tends to use either a 12 step or peer counseling structure; some of the schools were fundamentalist Christian academies with no mental health component, and some were in a category by themselves, like working farms with boarding schools. Feel free to private message me and I'll be glad to tell you which schools were recommended to me. Best of luck, this is one of the most challenging things I've ever done as a parent. [/QUOTE]
