This is absolutely correct. To my knowledge, once Chris Allen left Len Buccellato became the "official" supervisor, though he certainly does not supervise the counselors.

Lon Woodbury's visit report:
Peer groups meet for ?Realizations,? or group therapy twice a week. These groups can either be focused on helping students find ways to avoid falling back into their self-defeating patterns, or they can help students discover ways to get out of their patterns of negative thinking. While the groups are forthright and direct, I got the impression they would not be considered as confrontational as was often the norm in a number of other schools in the eighties. In addition to the Realizations, Counselors lead other psycho educational peer group sessions in the mornings and evenings throughout the week. Theme Realizations are on Wednesdays, addressing various issues such as adoption, grief/loss, substance abuse or other areas. While only a small number of the students have significant substance abuse problems, the issue is addressed on several levels, depending on the significance of the issue to each student.
Academics are as equally important as therapeutics. The school is very proud of their accreditation not only by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, but also by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The school had originally applied for accreditation as a Special Needs school, but the regional accrediting commission suggested they apply at the traditional boarding school level since their academic program exceeded by far the requirements for Special Needs status. Small classes are the norm; each student has an individualized academic plan and all teachers are certified. An important mark of the success of their academics, the school officials informed me, is that virtually 100% of the students who have completed high school at Hidden Lake Academy have been accepted to college.
After sitting in one of the group sessions, I toured the classrooms....
Is it appropriate for Ed Cons to sit in on group therapy sessions? Isn't group therapy considered confidential? Wonder how the kids felt about a stranger listening to their "issues"?

yeah Educatioal consultants sat in our reals quite a few times, though they usually toned it down a bit for that and waited till they left (they only sat in for maybe the first 45 minutes or so) to get into normal reals stuff.
