Can you tell us what happened in your case?

To have trusted an Ed Consultant making promises about all the help your kid will get at HLA was the first mistake. None of the many promises made to us by our Ed Consultant were met. All we experienced at HLA was constant negativity. All that negativity makes the kids there feel horrible about themselves. Also, they learn not to trust adults when they can be searched at any time and have other kids watching and telling on everything they do and say. I think the only families who come out happy with HLA are the ones whose kids learn to be silent and just work through the program and are meek and mild. Also, the academic piece of our experience was not good. For the price of the tuition at that school, one would have expected a great education. I think some parents stick their heads in the sand because they do not know what else to do with their children. The reality can set in after you have forked out all that money and you get your kid back home with more problems than they had starting out. That is what happened with my child and with many others that I have discussed this with. If I had only known then what I know now, I would have not made the same choice.

I think it is sad that families in crisis that think they are doing the right thing for their child pay Ed Con's for their "professional" advice on how to best help their children. The families put faith and hope and money into the Ed. Consultant's recommendation because they are so desperate to help their children. It really stinks when you realize that the program did not work therapeutically or academically for your child and you have blown all that money. It has been 2 years since my child got out of HLA and it still makes me sad and mad to this day for the decision I made :flame: :( :rofl:

And who was your Ed Con, Happy?

Dr. Martha Kolbe. I hear she is now one of the top referring Ed Cons to HLA.
