We're thinking of sending our daughter to Brehm Prep School in Carbondale, IL,  Anybody out there have any experience with this school?  Is it worth $50,000 a year?  Did it help?

You gotta be a fool to come in here and ask for advise.

Been here a few days.
Have seen this kind of thing posted by a number of the children who frequent here. If you are a real parent,with real concerns. Contact the service providers in your area.Do your homework. Children are "cash cows" to organazations that provide these services. You have to look very hard to find a quality place that puts your child's best interests first.
