[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 166362, member: 393"] [B]Triple J, The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) both kt & wm were in never gave out that much money each month. However, they were given spending money for outings. If husband & I wanted to bring in add'l funds we could. Our SD had a small school setting set up right inside this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) so summer school followed the same hours as the rest of the district. However, I know that this setting had a very little academics with gym thrown in. AND it's almost the same for day treatment right now - both of the tweedles get 3.5 hours of academics & 3 hours of therapy. SDs never allow a child out alone with a staff member. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff would frequently take kt or wm out for one on one time. It was used for a reward; many times it was because a child didn't have anyone to take them off grounds. False allegations were documented when the tweedles were admitted. I seriously had no issue with this because if kt or wm were taken out they had earned that outing. That meant something to me. As to the non DCFS question - we had the same thing. Most of the other children were in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) setting were wards of DCFS. That wasn't the case for our children. Saying that, this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) specialized in children with PTSD, attachment & developmental delays. kt & wm would visit & tell us about the kids who where "up for adoption" or going to a new foster home & it broke my heart. Hope this helps a bit. I would think some of the other "seasoned" parents will be along as well. [/B] [/QUOTE]
