[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 96815, member: 1545"] Hello again LItlPixy~ I would be glad to PM you the educational consultant that I am comfortable with. He is fair, and knowledgeable in my opinion. While I don't always appreciate Dores posts (she is an educational consultant who really shouldn't be 'drumming up business' in a forum designed for parents) her post in this thread does have some valuable information. It took my daughter a few months to really 'buy into the program'. That is - she kept up a facade for about 6 -8 weeks before she took off the false face and really began to wade through her issues. Then she began to make real progress. It is an extremely difficult experience. For her. For you. For the entire family. What we found was that while our daughter was the presenting client - the whole family had issues. Many of the dynamics in our home needed major overhauls. Be prepared in advance - it is going to require much work on your part too. It is extremely expensive. Be prepared to spend upwards of $50 - $60 K. We drained her college accounts and a good chunk of our savings. We still have not recovered fully from the financial impact of this decision. Most insurances do not cover this, just as they would not cover a private boarding school. Sometimes you can get the school district to help. Sometimes not. And it is not a cure all. They do not "fix" your kid. They equip them with some tools to cope more effectively with life. Whether that child chooses to pick those tools up and use them is a very individual outcome. Our daughter came home and picked up right where she left off for about one year. It was devastating. The reality is that when she finally decided she was tired of living the dysfunctional life - she turned herself around. I believed it was at that point that she got out those tools, dusted them off and began to use them. One last thought. What are your daughters struggles? Have you tried every community resource available to you? Local therapy? Alternative schools? Local drug treatment? Family therapy? I would never suggest sending a child to a TBS until EVERY, and I mean EVERY other resource has been tried and failed to turn a child around. [/QUOTE]
