[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 103775, member: 1545"] Hi David and welcome. We sent our daughter to a program for 16 months. On the other side of the country. It nearly killed me - so I understand your 'major issues in having him there'. Tell us a little bit more about your son and his story. Tell us about your family. I would have a really, really big problem with a program that didn't offer parental support. I would also have a problem with them not allowing you to talk to other parents who have kids in the same program. BIG RED FLAGS in my humble opinion. By contrast, when I first sent our daughter, I talked to staff almost daily. Some days when I was really struggling with our decision, they talked to me several times a day. They were wonderfully supportive. Further more, we got regularly scheduled calls from her case worker to update on therapeutic, academic, and community progress. Have you done your homework about this place? Are you confident of it's efficacy and have you checked the credentials of the staff? What are their restraint policies? How did you hear about them? Did you use an educational consultant? Lots of questions - I'm sorry. [/QUOTE]
