We had the experience of having two boys attending. Both boys and the rest of the family benefited from the experience. We only know this program and can't speak for others but the strengths of Telos are many:
1) Caring and nurturing staff. The staff really cares about the boys and wants them to do well. The therapists give their all while building relationships with the boys. The care and connections by the staff to students gave us comfort while the boys were away from home.
2) Progress towards goals. We felt that Telos worked through issues and they don't give up when faced with inevitable backsliding. The treatment team stays focused on goals set for kids and adjusts when needed to maintain progress or solve new problems.
3) Educational progress: The boys were able to maintain their high school progress while at Telos and are now back at comprehensive public high schools.
4) Therapeutic environment: Telos creates a milieu of students that learn from each other and learn how to support each other. They have a careful selection process and maintain behavior standards for the kids.
5) Opportunities for sports and physical activity. Telos has a great sports program where kids can play high school sports. They also encourage outdoor activity such as skiing and mountain biking. This became part of the therapy for my boys.
