Thanks ANON for posting the link to PURE.  I was wondering if anyone really read the sight or just accepted what others write about them.  I am not a PUREst or a WWASPie which I'm sure I will be accused of.  But I'm really glad that you posted that so that others could read it.  I contacted PURE and WWASP when I was having trouble with my child and WWASP was gung ho to send out paperwork to me to cart my child off to one of their programs however, PURE did not.  I more or less talked with them for hours and not once did they offer to refer my child out anywhere.  They listened to the problems and basically gave me some things to think about and I am happy to say my child is at home and we are working things out thanks to PURE. :grin:

Anon, your opinion is duly noted. But really, I'm not all that interested in getting a lesson in how these 2 competitors **allegedly** go about working their sales leads. What does interest me is how parents go about gathering information to better access the credibility of any organization that is in this business.  Testimonial evidence is fine, but should never be relied upon as proof-positive.

I'm sorry, the correct term I meant to use is ASSESS the credibility ....

Also, if a parent is taken in by their website and see most of what they are doing is slamming one particular program, it would be a big RED FLAG to stay as far away as possible.

If a wwasp rep wanted to send you the information at the get go wouldn't mean that you would be able to research what they offer?  I don't see that as a negative.  

I'm happy to hear you didn't have to send your child to a program.  Home is the best place for healing if it hasn't gone beyond your control.
