January 31,2013 - After months of extensive research, I found Aspen Education Group. It seemed so different from any other place I had looked into. They thrived on building up, not tearing down and every aspect was open for me to find information about as far as therapy, schooling, what types of methods they used and how large a school. They also hook you up to a family site to view progress, weekly pictures, activities, weekly calendars, parent weekends and anything else you could think of. The group and family therapy sessions each week has brought us so much closer together and the communication is unbelievable. We thought ourselves to be a loving, close family and didn''t believe we needed it, but it has truly shown us things we needed to change.*-Posted by Parent * January 31,2013 - Our son started at the Academy at Swift River as a 15 year old. He was depressed, suicidal, and dependent on marijuana. He graduated in October 2003. I always think of Academy at Swift River when we have good news and this is great: our son was accepted at dental school and will begin classes this September. What a remarkable come-back. He graduated from college in May with a BA in Psychology. He has been taking science prerequisites for dental school for the past year and a half. We are so grateful for the experience he had at Academy at Swift River. Thank you!*-Posted by Parent *
