[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 322084, member: 1514"] Terry, Looking back, I can remember back to when Cory was about 10 years old and we knew things were really beginning to spiral out of control. He hadnt done anything really bad yet but all the therapy that we had tried was getting no where and all the doctors were sitting around scratching their collective heads. They sent him up to UNC Chapel his to some psychopharmacologist who basically just said he was treatment resistant and sent us back home with no recommendations for help. Oddly enough, that wasnt going to be the last time I heard that label...lol. Corys first individual therapist when he was 9/10 years old was a saint of a woman but she got to the end of her rope with him. She simply couldnt figure out how to help him and it was killing her. He really was the sweetest and funniest little kid with these huge problems. She finally found this wilderness camp that agreed to accept Cory and once they accepted him and put him on the waiting list, she retired from being a therapist...lol. Cory wore her out! Not the last one he did either. This wilderness camp was run through the baptist childrens homes so you might check your state for something similar. It was very well run. Cory did well there and loved it and was well liked by all. He just didnt progress. LOL.. Treatment resistant again. Came home after 16 months for non progress. Not bad behavior, just didnt make any marked improvement. Next we started the ball rolling on group homes after some rather interesting stuff happened to send him to his first psychiatric hospital. Some group homes were good, some not so good. He didnt stay in any for long because he ran home constantly. I kept sending him back though. Really...if you can find anything through Lutheran services or baptist childrens...I would try there. They are really good agencies. [/QUOTE]
