My name is Adrianne Noah, M.A., and I specialize in working with at-risk children, adolescents and young adults. These young people may be exhibiting behavior problems and/or having academic difficulties for which traditional schools, therapies or treatments have not been successful. I further define my job as one of helping parents find an appropriate program/school for their child who is experiencing difficulties academically, behaviorally, socially, and/or emotionally. <p> As a parent, you may have exhausted all of your local resources and are considering an alternative program/school for your child. You are on your way to a solution through Teen Direction. My services include helping you find the right placement/school for your child that is best suitable for his/her needs. <p> Basically there are three categories of placements. A Wilderness Program is designed as a short-term intervention to aid a child in processing his/her core issues. If these underlying issues are addressed internally, returning home can be an option. However, if a child needs more time to explore these issues, an Emotional Growth Boarding School or Residential Treatment Center may be suggested. <p> As a consultant I travel approximately 50 days per year, visiting programs/schools, attending professional conferences and conferring with other colleagues. This allows me to make the best possible recommendations regarding your child. <a href="about.htm" target="mainbody"><b>Click here to learn more about me</b></a>.</span> <p> <TABLE width="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=center border=0> <TR> <td colspan="2" valign="top"> <p> <span style="font-family:times new roman, microsoft sans serif, helvetica, verdana, arial; color:000000; font-size:12pt"> <b>Is Your Child Experiencing...</b><p></span> </td> <td width="32%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="38%" valign="top"> <span style="font-family:times new roman, microsoft sans serif, helvetica, verdana, arial; color:000000; font-size:11pt"> <ul> <li>Declining academic performance</li> <li>Poor impulse control</li> <li>Change in peer group</li> <li>Low motivation</li> <li>Rebellion against authority</li> <li>Substance Abuse</li> <li>Eating Disorders</li> <li>Trouble with the law</li> <li>Sexual/Physical Abuse or Promiscuity</li> <li>Adoption/Attachment Issues</li> <li>Talk of death or suicide</li> <li>Conduct Disorder</li> <li>Depression<br></li> </ul> </span> </td> <td width="30%" valign="top"> <span style="font-family:times new roman, microsoft sans serif, helvetica, verdana, arial; color:000000; font-size:11pt"> <ul> <li>Grief Issues</li> <li>Low self-esteem</li> <li>ADD/ADHD</li> <li>Oppositional defiant behavior</li> <li>Runaway episodes</li> <li>Obsessive Compulsive Disorder</li> <li>Learning Disabilities</li> <li>Bipolar Disorder</li> <li>Self-harming Behaviors</li> <li>Anxiety Disorders</li> <li>Oppositional Behaviors</li> <li>Autistic/Asperger's Disorder<br></li> </ul> </span> </TD></TR></TABLE> <span style="font-family:times new roman, microsoft sans serif, helvetica, verdana, arial; color:000000; font-size:11pt"> I know many of the feelings you may be experiencing right now: fear, sadness, shock, anxiety, desperation, exhaustion, anger, denial, and love!
