From the beginning of your son's treatment at Top Flight, your family will be involved in weekly therapeutic sessions. You will be kept apprised of your son's progress, both through weekly phone calls as well as through access to on-line records. Most importantly, you are an integral part of the therapeutic process. All of this is designed to facilitate the transition to a normal home environment.

The Positive Peer Culture based program setting at Top Flight provides a strong therapeutic environment where students learn how to apply newly adopted skills into the home environment. Many students return home and adapt quite easily. For some, this transition can provide a struggle. Without question, this transition home is a large determinant in your son's long-term behavioral success.

As your son progresses at Top Flight, you and your therapist will begin to focus more attention on the transition home. To ensure this return home results in a successful experience, your therapist may recommend a Family Transition Management program. This program, developed and managed by Homeward Bound, employs the transition model developed by William Bridges, Ph.D., and brings proactive transition management into your home, into your son's circles and into the lives of your family at a time when dramatic change is taking place. Note that this is not passive, office therapy. Homeward Bound specialists work in your home and in your family's environment with all involved parties.

This three month transitional program is provided at a substantially reduced fee, as compared to standard tuition at Top Flight. Students enrolling in the Homeward Bound program will generally graduate from Top Flight earlier than normal, resulting in nearly the same overall cost to the parent.
