• Complete the Resident Application (DHR Referral)
• Private Placement: Interview as a family with staff (must bring all needed paperwork: completed resident application, school records, medical information, behavior record, birth certificate, social security card, and insurance cards).
• DHR Referral: Interview with DHR worker and resident (must bring all needed paperwork: completed resident application, school records, medical information, behavior record, birth certificate, social security care, and insurance cards). 
• If, after initial interview, family and staff want to proceed we will do a pre-placement trial run. This usually lasts about a week to determine if we feel like we can help the child and the family is comfortable with them staying. We will complete the remainder of paperwork at this time.
