Title: Sending to a Therapeutic Boarding if you had $- yay/nay? Post by: smomruby on February 06, 2020, 09:42:27 AM Thoughts on sending your child to a therapeutic boarding school...?
The costs are usually astronomical but if you could afford it would you send them? Do you think they are a good choice? There's so much negative press surrounding them. Does anyone have good intel about any schools in the northeast (US)? Title: Re: Sending to a Therapeutic Boarding if you had $- yay/nay? Post by: Swimmy55 on February 08, 2020, 08:31:33 AM Hello and welcome,
In my situation my son was in a therapeutic hospital back in 09-10 at RICA in Baltimore. He then got transferred to Board of Childcare in Baltimore group home . I would say the positives were that my son was so dysregulated that the regimented environment helped him. In RICA, they had a school within that bored my son. At the group home he was allowed to go to a public magnet school via bus. I am thankful because my son learned grooming, how to do laundry, and his day was regimented and supervised. I credit this time period to helping my son graduate high school and then graduating college even though he signed himself out at 18.

We have been happy so far - wilderness and now transitioning to a boarding school. We're happy because they were able to give a clear picture of my kid and picked a suitable school - she doesn't have addictions and isn't criminal but is emotional immature and too easily influenced and desperately needs healthy kids around her and so a school was picked based on that profile.

My son for odd and autism, and my youngest with (I believe) Bpd. I think very highly of their staff and am very impressed with their results. Very caring people.
