Yes. I am going on the assumption that not all therapeutic schools are bad. However, I have not found one with a good solid reputation. I think MBA sounds very similar to ASR in the way the kids are treated.
Keep in mind that public school and many private schools cannot and do not provide what some students need. I just have not found a school that I feel comfortable with.
I turned to speak to God, About the world's despair; But to make bad matters worse, I found God wasn't there.

Hmmm, let's think about that for a minute.

No they don't, nor should you expect them to. It's YOUR job to provide what your child needs.

I've been looking into this for years now and I've yet to find one either.

I went down to MBA in Prineville to see if it could help my son who's a serious substance abuser, chronic truant, failed 10th grade twice although his IQ is in the superior range, and one thing still sticks in my mind -- why can't we drive down and see our son on a Saturday or Sunday, why can't we call him? Why are all these therapeutic boarding schools like this? Why no contact? Okay, my son will beg us to take him home and they don't want the disruption of parents coming to visit on the weekend, but if I can't see my child, talk to my child, the bonds will be broken. I didn't want him to think we abandoned him, so we opted out. One year later, his drug use is off the charts, he's destroying himself and right now he's on a wilderness trek and from there will go somewhere, but it won't be to MBS for 14 months...which leads me to -- why aren't any of these schools 9 months or 12 months?

I have direct access to the INSIDE of Aspen Education Group and the concerns posted here are WELL FOUNDED. You have no idea of how much is covered up and how many cases AEG settles at the courtroom door. For confirmation check into the whys/whereabouts of why the infamous "Malea" was finally fired after over a decade of abuse. And finally the truth about SUWS and the nutcase running it is under investigation for almost 7 near deaths. If as a parent you are considering these programs, go spend the week watching; you will change your mind.

The Who recently suggested SUWS to a StrugglingParent. AEG is top of the line according to this guy.
Good job with the referral. :roll:
Can you provide some links for the information or expound on it for us? Thanks.
