[QUOTE="C130family, post: 175120, member: 304"] The name of the School is ABM ministries. They are a Christ centered school that takes a really strong approach that seems to have paid off. Lots of physical activity, I think he plays soccer 2-3 hours a day. Check out thier website, unlike most places that show you a kid on a horse (dont get me started about my opinion of how little "equine therapy" occurs, 4 years of Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he never rode a horse??) they have tons of "reading materials that show how they do business. One of the parents comments was that some parents wait until too late to start this process. They want a minimum of 1 year, but really 2 to work on the heart issues. If parents wait until 17, then if things are not going in the right direction at 18 they can walk out. They are on a 250 acre property in the middle of nowhere. There is lots of manual work to do and they a kept busy most of the time. What I loved about the sports is if they play soccer "everyone" will play, slackers wind up doing extra exersizes. 110% is expected. He says he lays down at night and falls right to sleep. Look in the reading materials about the place, they are very detailed about the program. At first we were a little put off by some of the strict rules they have, but we are seeing results like never before. He sounds so much more "squared away" on the phone. Though I know he has a long way to go. I'm pretty sure he's going to graduate from High School there. By faith we will be able to provide financially for this venture though, there will be no college funds for my other sons and we'll have to hold off on IRA's/retirment plans for a while. [/QUOTE]
