[QUOTE="jannie, post: 102797, member: 2074"] :rofl: :rofl: Thanks for making me laugh....you can't imagine what it takes to get a school system to pay for a residential treatment center...and if they determine that your child is so impaired that he/she needs to attend a program...believe me...it would not be one with "highly trained profressionals, who love children, who will try a variety of strategies to meet the individual needs of your child". It would be have to be a program that was funded by the school system. Most of the really good programs....that people mention are the ones that parents pay for out of pocket that costs thousands and thousands of dollars... Now I will apologize ahead of time that I know there are some very good publically funded programs out there....that the school system pays for...however.....it is the exception rather than the rule....I believe there are also programs that your child can enter that are funded by medicaid, but it can be very hard to get a child with emotional issues to qualify for these types of programs....for so many of us...it is a major challenge to just prove "educational impact" in order to qualify for an IEP and if we are fortuante enough to have private health insurance....the mental health coverage is awful....I also know the public funded health insurance also has bad coverage...I guess it means that nothing is easy.... I do believe however, that there are some really good therapeutic residential programs that provide the structure needed for so many of our kids to be successful... A know a family who has their 10 year old in a residential program...but attends a public county school for students with emotional needs...the state pays for the residential program (covered because this family adopted a child with special needs) and because the public school system felt that they could appropriately plan for this child, he can not attend the private school part of his residential program, but he can live there via state funding...He is doing well in the structured supervised setting and is allowed home visits....I'm sure the parents hope he can stay there for a long period of time, becuase the family could not function as a family with him living in the home...after 9 years of stress.. they found this program.
