[QUOTE="DDD, post: 63696, member: 35"] Please note: I do not know what I am talking about from experience! I would think that the selection of a specific board school would be a complex choice. As I did mention before, the lst placement we found for easy child/difficult child was recommended by the former head of the Department of Juvenile Justice. To me that seemed like a great endorsement. Further the people from the residential facility were helpful, upbeat, had worked there for years etc. etc. AND helped me finance the stay. Things I didn't know to ask made a huge difference. The highly qualified staff members left at 5 and didn't work weekend. The care of the teens was left in the hands of untrained people who were paid minimum wage. None of them were evil people but they had no concept of the overall philosophy of the program and so the teens were smarter than the "sitters". I didn't know to ask for a breakdown between private placement and pay families and court ordered and alternative placement teens. As a result our son learned all kinds of drug and crime information that he sadly took to heart. Even though "kids are kids", you would want to avoid a placement where kids were accustomed to a different lifestyle than yours. Geez, this whole this is TOO complex. DDD [/QUOTE]
