Interview by Dr. Michele
Consultant Andy Anderson was interviewed by Dr. Michele, who was guest hosting the Answers for the Family regular broadcast program on L.A. Talk Radio on behalf of the hosts of the show who were pulled away on various emergencies. International Detective Allen Cardoza was at work on a case concerning human trafficking while psychotherapist Dr. Melody Foxx was called away by a client.
Dr. Michele is a Licensed Psychologist who has her own radio show, "On the Couch, with Dr. Michele." Her popular show offers support for people facing either personal or relationship issues. She uses a broad variety of therapeutic approaches, ranging from the psychodynamic approach to gestalt therapy.
The guest of the show, Andy Anderson, has been dealing with special-needs children, teenagers, and young people for well over 38 years. The former Executive Director of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools started Andy Anderson Consulting, Inc.
For the past 7 1/2 years, he has been instrumental in running the Independent Small Programs Alliance (ISPA), a cooperative alliance of smaller sized therapeutic programs. This framework allows them to prosper in a therapeutic milieu controlled by giant corporations.
What is the Independent Small Programs Alliance?
During the fascinating interview, Andy illustrated how the alliance had the capacity to offer a selection of superior courses for at-risk youth. The members of the ISPA exemplified the best in Residential Treatment Programs, Wilderness Programs, and Therapeutic Boarding Schools. They even offered Latency Age Programs and Emerging Adult Programs. Due to this considerable base, the ISPA is able to assist youth ranging in age from 6 to 30 years.
Members are able to help young people with learning disorders like Down Syndrome, Autism, Aspergers Syndrome, and Developmental Disabilities, as well as with developing personality issues like Oppositional Disorders, Depression, Reactive-Attachment Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Besides these very serious learning and personality related-disorders, ISPA members also provided invaluable help with behavioral issues like drug and alcohol abuse, anger management, lack of motivation, and poor academic achievement.
Andy also pointed out that the 17 ISPA members various Residential Treatment Centers, Transitional Programs and Therapeutic Boarding Schools also handled less known psychological issues faced by adolescents like addiction to pornography and addiction to Internet gaming. The organization makes sure that families came first and the bottom line came second. All the programs were hand-picked and it is expected that the association would cap at 20 members.
Final Thoughts
The radio broadcast show stirred a massive surge of audience involvement. Listeners were thrilled at the broad selection of help offered by the ISPA and many called in to ask about programs available for at-risk youth.
