Interviewing Founders of the Top 3 Parent Choice Programs
The first guest in the interview series on the Top 3 Parent Choice Programs selected by Woodbury Reports was Ken Huey, who is the Founder and Senior VP of Change Academy Lake of the Ozarks (CALO). He spoke about the new renovations at CALO.
CALO has specialized in helping adopted children. These children suffer from either serious attachment disorders or reactive attachment disorder. The school has opened up 2 new houses. These have been built on five acres of property adjoining the previous buildings. The new buildings were constructed for their new preteen program. These are youngsters between 10 to 13 years. Although preteens with reactive disorders are not violent, they do have intense behavioral challenges and need a large staff to manage them. "They need one on one care", said Ken. They need to talk about their issues and learn how to connect to the larger world.
The Chief Executive of Aspiro and Outback Therapeutic Expeditions, Dr. Rick Meeves, was the second guest, and he was invited to talk about both programs, which are run separately from each other.
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 final guest was Kathy Rex. She is the founder of a new wilderness program called BlueFire Wilderness Therapy. The school is located in southern Idaho.
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.
