Residential placement and treatment

There is a growing need for emotional growth opportunities for students who may be floundering in the current setting. Whether a short term wake-up call or a placement which may be as long as two years, the market has responded with a wide array of treatment choices which are available to those who can afford to pay privately for a new setting for their child. I do not accept cases where public funding is being sought; those are properly handled by education or disability attorneys. In the case of divorce, I will work with those cases in which common ground can be reached by both custodial parents.

If you are interested in residential placement, you may download the parent information forms from this site, and I can mail or fax you a copy of my contract with current fees. I do not work with families I have not met, except in the most unusual circumstances. You may come to see me, or bring me to your home for a fee for each day out of the office plus travel expenses. I offer families a no-obligation meeting to discuss your case and determine whether I can be helpful. Ultimately, families are making their own placements based upon the best information we can muster, and no fees are ever accepted by the counselor for placement of a student in a facility.

I travel as many as 50 days each year to visit both new and established facilities. I attend the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs national conference, as well as an array of continuing education seminars and meetings covering a wide range of behavioral treatment issues.
