An Alternative to Residential Treatment for Children with Bipolar Disorder

July 28, 2006 (Press Release) -- Whenever chronic behavior issues have popped up, parents have been historically faced with few choices. They could enroll their child in a private school (most of which won’t accept students with “problems”). They could home school their child (being a parent is already tough enough). They could move their family to another city in the hopes that a new school in a new town might be just the thing. Or, sadly, the family’s only hope may seem to be a residential treatment program, with the family split apart for up to a year or more. Some of these choices have worked for a lucky few families. Most have only set up temporary false hope. Now there’s a new option.

The Set On Success (SOS) school is a therapeutic day school for children in grades K-7th with behavior issues. Incorporating all necessary curriculum to maintain the student's education level, SOS focuses on the issues of quality behavior management with the goal of returning to the traditional classroom as quickly as possible.

Students are enrolled for a 3-week period while their parents are on site, learning and honing new techniques for a healthier, happier home life.

SOS was created by the founders of America's 1st school for Bipolar children. The new program eliminates the need for the family to relocate while bringing hope back to the home.
