Valley View School Abuse
dbdick:
Valley View School is a reputable institution of learning with a very fine and professional educational and administrative staff. I assume that the libelous comments made, specifically regarding Dr. Spiva, may have come from a disgruntled former student who was beyond the scope of Valley View's intervention. Our decision to send our son to Valley View was both the most difficult and the most rewarding decision we've ever made. I'd be happy to speak with anyone interested in learning more about our personal journey and experience at Valley View. Feel free to contact me at DocMomDeb@gmail.com

That's crazy. You are confusing Valley View with the Catholic Church. Our son went to Valley View for two years and just graduated from college with a 3.0 average. Valley View had prepared him with their program. Phil Spiva is a fine man and Valley View is a fine place and those kinds of scurrilous charges on that earlier post should not be allowed to float around. It really is pathetic for someone to make such charges.
Valley View Graduate:
This post is nothing more then an immature attempt to defame a talented and proven doctor of psychology. Not every young man leaves Valley View School with the maturity to resist the immature impulses, as this anonymous post demonstrates.
I am a graduate of Valley View School, and I have known Doctor Spiva since the early 1990's. While I would never suggest that each day as a VVS was a constant joy, it certainly is an environment that allowed me to grow into maturity. Sadly, this post acts as testament that not every young man will glean the full benefit of the VVS experience.
Personally, in the years immediately following leaving VVS, I didn't fully recognize how well the program worked. It took a long time for me to see the deep rooted habits and improved decision making process and the lasting positive effects of both. The full benefit of VVS is often unrecognized until one is well into their college years, and I suspect whoever left this post is still a young, immature, disgruntled former student. Some day, when he grows up, he will see the error in his ways.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the creditably of Doctor Spiva, the of quality of the staff, or any other questions about the VVS experience I would be happy to discuss them with you.

Oh wow, three 1-post accounts pop out of the woodwork almost immediately. Looks like someone at the program slammed the panic button. Reminds me of UO. "All Come!"
You three'd be slightly more believable if it didn't have the Seals of Guaranteed Child Abuse on it:

The person who posted such an unfounded attack on Dr. Spiva should be ashamed. Valley View, under Dr. Spiva's leadership and guidance has helped countless young men find their way in a world that seemed totally against them. Is the program tough? Yes. Does it ask a lot of the boys?Yes. Does it teach them tolerance, resposibility, respect for themselves and others? Yes And how to cope in the world? Yes.
I personally know several young men who probably would not be in this world today if not for their experience at VVS and who are doing very well in their lives. To insult the program and especially Dr. Spiva with such despicable accusations can only be the actions of a malicious person who failed to learn the valuable lessons avaliable to them while at VVS. Dr. Spiva you have my total support.
