She does go to school 75%-80% of the time, always with a fight. She attends a non public special education school for students with behavior needs. After the pandemic we have been through public, private, public with special education supports, and two non public schools. That has been a whole other exhausting experience.

I work a full time job.

I have started to research residential treatment and/or therapeutic boarding schools but it is very scary, especially after the trauma we experienced with her hospitalizations.

OP, I know of two families who have used this school and felt it was effective and compassionate. Unfortunately for one family, once it really started to work insurance stopped paying for it because the child was no longer having behavioral episodes (the wonderful Catch-22 of "medical necessity" for mental health services). They tried to pay privately for a while but just couldn't make it work. https://sandhillcenter.org/

[b]They did end up relinquishing custody for a time so that their state provided residential treatment elsewhere. [/b]I know others in this thread have said this is a myth, but I wonder if it's actually more state specific as this person is not in DC area. Or maybe it used to be true and no longer is as this was about 15 years ago. [/quote]

My aunt and uncle did something similar with my cousin (their oldest child). I was a young teenager so wasn't paying much attention to how it was done but my cousin was probably about 10 and was at a residential facility for probably 6 years. He was a ward of the state during that time. This was in the midwest.[/quote]
