Parents Must be Involved in a Childs Treatment

Lon Woodbury is the closest thing the parent choice residential treatment world has to an industry analyst.  His LinkedIn profile states the following: “25 Years in the network of private emotional growth/therapeutic residential schools and programs: 5 as Admissions Director for Rocky Mountain Academy and 20 as an Independent Educational Consultant helping parents find the best placement for their Special Needs child. I still help individual parents in their search through consultations, but most of my work is in publishing the information to help parents decide the “if and where” of placement through the newsletter Places for Struggling Teens, an active website (Strugglingteens.com), and a directory, Parent Enpowerment Handbook, containing only those schools and programs with an overall positive reputation among professional Independent Educational Consultants.”

 

We are pleased that Lon took the time to share his insights with us, and will be posting videos from his interview all week.  Here, Lon shares with us just how important it is to involve parents in a child’s treatment:
