Does your child require a therapeutic program?
Theraputic Programing for young adults
I am often asked by parents when to consider a therapeutic school for their child.
As a rule, parents probably should consider a therapeutic school for a child challenged by emotional, behavioral, substance abuse, or academic issues, or any other challenge that the local public school cannot handle effectively. In other words, she cannot receive the consistent treatment and individual attention she needs in a local school and the home setting. Whether to send the child away to a school with a highly structured environment where she will receive the treatment she needs 24/7 is something you should discuss in-depth with a professional psychologist. Once you understand and have accepted the diagnosis and the optimal treatment recommended for your child, hire an educational consultant to help you identify schools that will suit your requirements. Hiring a professional to assist you with this task is just as important as hiring an attorney to review a real estate contract or help you write your will. You know what you want. The professional will make it happen.
How do the programs work?
Each therapeutic school has its proprietary treatment procedures and philosophy. But most concentrate on providing a highly-structured, isolated environment in which your child can learn new behaviors. Therapeutic schools offer the intensive support and encouragement necessary to eliminate destructive, bad habits and replace them with new, building behavior patterns, confidence. They accomplish this in many ways, including group and individual therapy sessions.
How long does this take? It varies with each child. The typical stay is at least a year, but a more extended stay may be necessary to achieve the desired results. Besides, students frequently arrive at a school with significant gaps in their academic work. It is not always easy to predict how quickly they can make up those deficiencies.
What do therapeutic schools cost?
Because the schools provide therapeutic services as well as academic instruction, they tend to be pretty expensive. Monthly charges of $10,000 or more are common. Also, you can expect to pay for medications and specialized treatments, which may be necessary.
Where can I find schools?
My advice is to hire a consultant that has extensive knowledge of programs and has visited them to see first hand if its a fit. Start by searching this site with the keyword therapeutic Read the articles you can find on sites like Therapeutic Boarding Schools and The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs. Ask professionals such as doctors and educators for their advice. Always visit schools and understand fully how their programs work.
