[QUOTE="dadside, post: 295070, member: 5707"] I agree wholeheartedly with goldenguru that the fact of your son saving his rage for you needs high attention. It also seems to me that despite two psychiatric hospitalizations and all of the other attention from counseling professionals there is no good assessment of what the root issue(s) is/are. Until you get that, any boarding school or any return to the local hospital only gets him out of your house without really addressing his problem. For the sake of you and your other two children, another placement could be in order, but make it somewhere different and with resources and expertise to provide effective help likely a psychiatric hospital in a major city. (My son was in three different phosps at 3 or 4 different times, only once for over a week. One place actually was worse than nothing, one marginal, and one an hour+ away the only good one for him- and this in a major metropolitan area. Ths point is to check hospital specialties [I]first[/I].) There are educational consultants and there are educational consultants. There are no minimum standards or basic services required to call oneself an Ed.Con. Even among the good ones, the range of expertise and services varies greatly. (And ... some less-than-open ones really only front for schools that pay them fees for referrals.) I really think you need a good diagnosis first. If and when the time comes for a therapeutic school whether called Residential Treatment Center (RTC), EGBS or TBS and you have a better diagnosis to know what needs be done you might check back here for possible specific placement suggestions (which could be given through pms.)
