Interviewing Founders of the Top 3 Parent Choice Programs
Ken Huey was the first guest. He founded the Change Academy Lake of the Ozarks, often simply referred to as CALO, and serves as it current senior vice president.
CALO--who specialize in working with adopted children who have serious attachment disorders and reactive attachment disorders. They recently opened up two new houses on five acres of adjoining property. Preteens are children between the ages of ten to thirteen years of age. Those with reactive attachment disorder are intense. Although, they are not violent, they require a large staff to regulate their behavior. "These children, "said Ken, "need one on one care. They crave touch, love and care. They like to rock in the dual rocking chairs and to sit and talk and to learn to connect and trust."
Dr. Rick Meeves, the new CEO of Aspiro and Outback Therapeutic Expeditions, was the next guest. He discussed how the two programs would remain autonomous.
He explained that both programs did have something in common: they both used the expeditionary model. However, the emphasis placed on each one was slightly different. Aspiro was an adventure program. Outback was a wilderness program, with some "New Age" features.
The founder of BlueFlame Wilderness Therapy, a school in southern Idaho that follows the wilderness recovery model, Kathy Rex was the third and last guest, and she was invited to share on her new school.
The program was not co-ed, but focused on single gender groups. Students, aged 13 years to 17 years, were offered a selection of wilderness experiences and outdoor adventures. For three days of the week, students lived in a yurt, where they learned arts and crafts.
