IECA Says Support for Families with Violent and Oppositional Teens is Crucial
Proquest LLC |
According to a release from IECA, the story (Seeing Sons' Violent Potential, but Finding Little Help or Hope) told the story of a family and their struggle with local care and residential treatment programs.
The author,
"Long and short term placements, from medical models to intensive therapy and wilderness programs can be an excellent alternative for families with at-risk children, teenagers, and young adults," said
IECA members regularly visit schools and programs across the country (spending about 20 percent of their time on the road) to evaluate and monitor program success and quality, including meeting with program staff and observing staff-student interactions. This expertise is used to advise families on the most suitable placement for the child. IECA members are objective and maintain an impartial view of each placement option; they accept no placement fee from schools or programs. This means their only obligation is to the client and family, and not to programs looking to fill beds. Issues such as drug use, attachment disorder, promiscuity, aggression, and defiance can create a barrage of overwhelming and stressful emotions in a family. As parents look for answers, most are not aware of what options are available. Given the immediate need often associated with these situations, families in crisis can be especially vulnerable to an improper placement.
"IECA educational consultants advise parents on all facets of their child's or young adult's care," said Sklarow. "This collaborative and confidential assistance can bring long-awaited solutions to families. IECs are thorough in their assessment and evaluative processes, conducting extensive interviews of family members, school personnel, and other key referring professionals."
IECA was founded as a nonprofit, professional association of established independent educational consultants.
