One challenge parents face is they don't feel there are other options.

They often cannot get services locally, cannot get kids into anything in patient, cannot get discipline going.

It's a weird dichotomy. You let your kid walk to park alone, you could face jail time. You send them to one of these camps, no issues.

In addition to criticizing these program's I'd love to see better suggested options for often desperate parents, especially for kids who are a bit older.

A lot of bad actors, but these schools have an opening sometimes where other systems are not stepping up.
