[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 746973, member: 1233"] For some kids a wilderness program can be helpful, but not for all of them. Same with TBS. If you do choose a program, be sure of what you are choosing. Check into it thoroughly. Educational consultants can be expensive but very worth it. Don't mistake a program being close to home for the best one. Sometimes a school that is the right fit is not close to home. Wherever your child goes, be sure you can regularly contact them to make sure they are relatively okay. Check the level of staff training and get as much in writing as you can. It is a WILDLY unregulated industry, so due diligence is needed when choosing a program. There is a tool here on the site that can be amazingly helpful and powerful. It is called a Parent Report. It allows you to keep ALL of the info on your child in one document/place. You can find this Parent Report at the top of the posts on the General forum. This lets you give professionals you are working with an overview on the good and challenging parts of your child. It also helps you keep track of medications, side effects, problems, etc... This might help you and your child both work with the professionals better, as you have info organized and at your fingertips. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
