\nWhile there are never any wrong questions, there are things you should know. Below is a great start of things to consider and questions to ask RTCs when looking into them for your daughter.
\nWhat is the staff to student ratio?<\/strong> The last thing you want is for your daughter to fall in the cracks and be overseen. Here at Sunrise we have a 1 to 4 staff <\/a>to student ratio. This helps in developing the relationships needed for change.
\nWhat does their transition plan look like?<\/strong> It\u2019s not so much how your daughter does in treatment<\/a>, it\u2019s how she does when she returns home. At Sunrise we have the end in mind from the beginning. Your therapist will help you design a home transition<\/a> plan specifically to your family\u2019s individual needs. Part of the transition plan is home visits for your daughter. During home visits, we like to have her Sunrise therapist join for a couple of days to do extensive work in the home to ensure a smooth transition.
\nHow do you handle discipline\/ punishment?<\/strong> Because we take a relational approach to treatment, there will never be behavioral punishment such as loss of points, time out, ridicule or belittling. We want a natural consequence to be applied to the action, thus understanding how their actions affect their relationships.
\nWhat is the therapists\u2019 caseload?<\/strong> Therapists at Sunrise will not exceed a caseload larger than 8 students.
\nWhat is your success? A better question to this is \u201cDo you have outcomes?\u201d<\/strong> Sunrise is fully committed to measuring their success and the success of their students. We do this through a series of normed tests that our students complete monthly, weekly and quarterly. We track their progress from the day they admit to 2 years after graduating Sunrise.
\nWhat does school look like?<\/strong> Our approach at Sunrise is to normalize treatment making the transition home<\/a> as smooth as possible. A large area of this is in school. Our school campus is a drive away from where the girls live. This normalizes the routine of getting up, getting ready, and making it to school on time every morning. Our classes are direct class instruction with licensed teachers. We accommodate different learning styles including IEPs.
\nHow often will my daughter see her therapist?<\/strong> She will have a formal individual session weekly and a family session weekly. However, the therapists at Sunrise are fully integrated into the girls\u2019 everyday schedule. They are at the school when she is at school. They join them on outings, participate in activities at the house, and even eat dinner with them!
\nPlease contact Sunrise Admissions<\/a> should you like to discuss Sunrise for your daughter, or have any further questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
