"ARGHHHHH!!! This is so frustrating.  



3.5.3 any behavior support intervention that is implemented by another program participant without the expressed consent of a staff member



So, WTF- this means that, with staff consent, A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT CAN IMPLEMENT A BEHVAIOR SUPPORT INTERVENTION???  NATSAP is such a Joke!"

One could argue that this was intended to let staff call on other students to temporarily restrain another student in danger of hurting themself or others, pending arrival of other staff, but it sure doesn't read as so limiting.  Even a person who thinks some programs do good things has to pause at this!

Montana PBS Documentary: Who's Watching The Kids?

There are more than 30 privately run schools for troubled youth operating in the state of Montana. They employ more than 600 people and pump an estimated 4 million into the state income taxes. It's an exploding industry, but strangely, most Montanans have no idea the schools even exist. In this hour-long documentary, MontanaPBS explores a lucrative industry praised for its novel approach to reforming youth, yet shrouded in disturbing allegations of abuse and neglect.

Why two years? Provisional licenses allow programs to operate for varying timeframes until they come into compliance. They should all be required to apply for licenses before the end of 2007. That's plenty of time. Actually very generous, give they've all been operating in violation of the law, and some for over a decade.
