[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - he has placement at a private day school and is relatively well regulated while there. The problem is evenings and weekends.[/quote]

That’s a very different scenario than what you initially stated. [/quote]

It is? I said the family is looking for a residential placement bc they don’t feel like it’s safe to continue to have him living at home.[/quote]

Yes, they want long term residential care ultimately. Thank you for the referral.

It doesn’t really matter I just want to direct you the right place. If you think they need long term residential care start with MI. If you want long term care but want to keep him at home then there are other routes I’d probably take but intake coordinators at May should be able to help guide them better than an internet stranger.

That place has decades of experience, they could handle the moderate level outbursts/aggression, they have multiple locations, and could fit the long term residential care piece they are looking for. If it doesn’t work out let me know I’ll try to come up with something better but I think it’s a solid starting place. [/quote]

Do they use or have a history of using aversive “therapy” there? [/quote]

Can you elaborate?[/quote]
