--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---Yup, and that's part of the reason behind why these programs get away with the crap that they do, year after year.
And that's precisely why parents should investigate and should be informed as to whether these kinds of problems have occurred. Unless these abuses get publicized, and remembered, too few will be able to put together the pattern... that these abuses are NOT isolated incidents, but are part of the systemic malaise of how these places effect their behavior modification.

First off where could the program post this information centrally so that everyone could access it? There is no place for them to do it. As far as Bromely Brook goes in their own eyes they have solved the issue and there is no more risk to children. Why should they go further on the issue? Why tell the new parents that are bringing in the children? What would it solve from their perspective?
There is no place for the parents to get information that is balanced. They go to Edcons and they have a business to protect and forums like fornits have posters purging their personal anger and are so anti-program that a parents doesn’t have a chance of getting any honest info… every program is the same, they starve and abuse kids, brainwash them, restrain them, lock them in isolation rooms, rape them etc.etc. how would any parent believe this stuff. So that leaves speaking to other parents who have experienced the programs themselves.
Also, I have not seen it established anywhere that these are not isolated incidents. There is no pattern that programs have that doesn’t also occur in public schools. Perps get in wherever kids are.

--- Quote ---"Adolescence may be the most difficult time for an individual with Asperger's or high-functioning autism," explains Tatsapaugh. "In adolescence, social demands become more complex, subtle social cues become more important, and kids with these disorders may have difficulty understanding their peers and the inherent social status structure of high school. Because they are socially naive, the child may not realize when someone is trying to take advantage of them and they can be especially vulnerable to manipulation and peer pressure."
She adds, "This school will be a comfortable place for them to feel safe and be who they are without peer ridicule."

I can't believe how these places actually think that a program environment, one that specifically relies on manipulation and peer pressure to effect behavior modification, and hence, perhaps unavoidably, also peer ridicule, will be of benefit to kids with Asperger's or high-functioning autism.

Also removing these kids from a familiar home environment. Thoroughly incompetent and wholly self serving.

This place provides an environment which will not have peer ridicule.
