The road to graduation is often a long one. Sometimes, along the way, a child achieves true excellence in one or two areas (which is to say he is clearly above his peers), while he has not yet attained total wellness in one area.
When this occurs one of two possibilities exists: such a child continues on the program until that final area is perfect and then graduates, of the staff and the family agree that the child should join his well peers while continuing to do a neurological program that will solve the remaining problems.
In this second case, the everyday demands of life itself, combined with the continued neurological program, are sufficient to eventually solve the child's remaining problems. This is called "graduation to life."
If all goes well after a child "graduates to life," the remaining problem is totally solved. When this occurs, the child returnsfor a final evaluation and formally becomes a full graduate.
If the parents do not see the desired progress and changes occurring in life, they contact The Institutes and the child returns to a full program.
