Featured Testimonials
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.
Featured Article
There's no question your teenage child is dealing with peer pressure. It goes with the territory. But peer pressure can take many forms, both positive and negative. Certainly, every parent fears the gang banger giving drugs to their child or the rebellious "cool kid" persuading their child to smoke, but peer pressure can also come in milder forms like wearing mismatched socks to imitate the popular girls or taking certain electives to be in class with friends. Because most peer pressure happens at school, it can be beyond a parent's immediate control.
