Admissions Procedures:
The students enrolled at Hidden Lake Academy are categorized as having Oppositional Defiant Disorder. This has been previously diagnosed by a psychiatrist or psychologist or the criteria for this diagnosis must have been met, as determined by a counselor or consultant.

HLA "Truth," this is exerpted from your employer's website. It clearly states that a previous diagnosis by a mental health professional OR the opinion of a counselor or Ed Con is sufficient "diagnosis" of ODD.
Can you explain how a counselor's or Ed Con's opinion, in the absence of a pych test battery, can be considered a valid diagnosis of ODD?
I also didn't see anything about an in-house doctor performing any testing.
My question: Which source is lying, your website or you? False marketing or false statements?
You and your employer have just about ZERO credibility. It seems your business and program are both run by the "smoke and mirrors" plan.

Dr. Brad Carpenter is his name. He is on the website. All he does is testing.
A lot of Ed Cons do testing or have it done by other professionals who are qualified to do it.
Troll Control:
How about when HLA relies on the opinion of a counselor for diagnosis? The website clearly states that this is acceptable. It also jives with the experiences of many people in that they were told upon a very limited interview, not after testing, that their kid was ODD. In your opinion, this is responsible and professional?
Are you saying that the Ed Cons that refer to HLA are possessed of advanced clinical credentials? I know of many who are not. Yet, you say it is acceptable for an Ed Con to diagnose a patient? How is that?

Well, this is not quite true. He is employed elsewhere on a full-time basis. Since he has another full time job, when is he available for testing at HLA?
Does he test every patient?
Are there patients who have never been tested?

I see you avoided them altogether once more.

You missed these important questions again, "Truth." Maybe you can get around to answering at some point? Are you purposefully avoiding answering, or are you just overlooking the half dozen posts asking you to answer?

Where else is he employed?
No. He does not test every student.
BTW...What test would you perform to determine if a student is ODD?
