Dysfunction Junction:
Good. So now we have gotten to the truth after so many post on so many pages. Whooter now admits he just made up his claims and that no evidence bears them out. It took a while, but now we can all see that Whooter's claims were false and he now admits they are false.
That wasn't so hard now, was it? Honesty is the best policy, but we need to examine the claims of people tied financially to tht TTI very carefully. They are not honest brokers, as we have demonstrated yet again.
Whooter:
I added Counselors and Teachers to the list as shown below:
Here is a program Team Model:
* Clinical Director
* Students assigned a master's level counselor who heads a team
* Individual Counseling 1x/week
* Group Counseling 3x/week
* Team Groups, Themed Groups (Mood Management, Adoption, Loss, Eating Disorders, Relapse Prevention)
Master's Level, CADAC Substance Abuse Counselor:
* Administers the SASSI to all students
* Substance Abuse Education Groups 1x/week
* Individual Substance Abuse Counseling
* AA & NA meetings both on and off campus
* Relapse Prevention Groups
Educational Support:
* 11 teachers
* Organizational Coach
We should investigate the types of people they hire to support this model that they market to the parents.

I was lead to believe that the counselors were more on a consulting bases. Yes they did have certain students to deal with but they also worked elsewhere other then Swift. They had there own practice or counseling sessions aside from Swift. That they only gave Swift so many hours a week.

When my daughter was there they had licensed therapists who were not on staff with the school come in to handle the individual therapy, they had their own private practice and not all the kids had individual therapy at that time (only if the parents opted for it) and the therapists would invoice the parents and were paid directly by the parents not through the school. These therapists would communicate with the childs therapist at home in an effort to work together and communicate progress. These therapists were never listed on ASR's web site , as I remember, because they were not employees of Aspen.

Swift brochure does not say or infer that the counselors work there full-time or not. This is something only folks with "a need to know" know. The brochure that was produced and looked at by you prior to sending your daughter there probably said the same thing. Only after you got to know the situation did you understand the working arrangement with the counselor your daughter was assigned to.
What makes you so sure they changed.

I wouldn't expect them to document how many hours each person works. I sat with admissions and went over all the interactions my daughter would have and with whom. I was introduced to the staff, although I did not meet my daughters individual therapist until my first visit but I did speak to her over the phone prior to that to receive updates. My daughter approved the communication on a week by week basis and she also communicated with my daughters therapist at home who she was seeing prior to her placement.

I am not sure exactly what has changed since that time.
