[quote=Anonymous]Some of the public schools have small "school refusal" programs. In order to get admitted, the child has to have a diagnosis and an IEP. So, that's one route. If after getting an IEP, the school doesn't have an adequate program, private placement might be an option. Another option is to look into more intensive mental health treatment like a partial hospitalization program, maybe followed by an intensive outpatient program that works on school reintegration. Most of the programs I know of are short term, such as Adventist Behavioral Health. But there is a long term one called Northstar in Rockville. I have heard that it is highly regarded. Regardless of what road your friend decides to take, I strongly recommend that your friend seek an IEP. Mental health issues aren't something that just go away. My son has an IEP due to mental health issues and the supports and services provided are the only reason that he is able to go to school right now. [/quote]
