ISABELLE ZEHNDER - PARENT CONSULANT
Anonymous:

Isabelle encourages parents who are considering placing their child or teen in a program or facility away from home to contact her at info@caica.org. She provides a free, one-hour consultation to help parents make an informed decision for their child. As mentioned above, this industry is not regulated. There is no Federal oversight and there is no governing body monitoring what goes on behind closed doors. This leaves the door wide open for abuse and neglect to occur. Isabelle believes it is vital that parents seeking residential placement for the child or teen be well informed. This is one of the biggest decisions parents will make, so making it in haste, out of fear, and without doing research can be disasterous, as we have too often seen.
BuzzKill:
Who needs more than one guess where she is sending these parents?
And is there anybody who imagines she isn't getting paid to do so?
She can go on and on about how CACA is not paid for referrals. . . Has nothing to do with paying little Izzy. After all, her professional and educated opinion is worth a bit. Her efforts to recruit theses parents of some value. Besides, she said from day one, she intended to make this advocacy business make money.
She did seem to bow out at one point because it wasn't paying off. But then she made some changes to her web site (most notably took down all reference to Whitmore and the charges of child abuse) and began to sing the praises of PURE. And now she is providing "free" counseling to parent shopping for programs. . .
Anybody surprised? :roll:

Anybody know what Isabelle SAYS are her qualifications for dispensing such advice to parents?
She's not a psychologists, social worker, or degreed in iany such field is she?
Is she like Sue Scheff...just a parent helping parents" type person?
This is beyond "surpising."

Curious to know whether Isabelle charges a fee for her "services" after the one hour free consultation? If so, how much?
Also, if she is recommending options, what are they? Is PURE one of them or is she referring directly to their programs?
