- Aspiro is a member of NATSAP
www.natsap.org
- Aspiro is a member of the ACCT

- Aspiro provides academic curriculum to all
of its students who need high school credits.
- Aspiro has a clinical director with
associated licensed therapist. All
therapists operate within their scope of practice
and are licensed in the state of Utah.
- All staff is screened and receives a back
ground check by the state of Utah and other
states they have lived in.
- All students are pre-screened by a member of
our clinical team for appropriateness to come to
Aspiro. Acceptance is based on a review of
the student's current and past history of
behavior, consultation with parents and
professionals, and psycho-educational testing
when appropriate. Once a student
arrives at Aspiro they will remain at our
transition camp for the first few days until the
team feels they are safe to go to the field and
participate in the program. Aspiro
reserves the right to dismiss a student who is
admitted into the program but later determined
that he/she is not appropriate for the program.
- Students in Aspiro receive weekly individual
and group therapy by a licensed therapist.
In addition, guides will facilitate discussion
groups. Guides are generally not a
licensed therapist and do not perform therapy.
- Students in Aspiro can receive optional
testing by Aspiro therapist OR by outside
independent testers. This is the parent's
choice and does cost extra.
- Aspiro strives to be family friendly and
requires parents to see their student during
parent workshops and to go on the trail with
their student. Parents who are visiting
the program will not be allowed to distract or
slow the program down.
- Safety: Student safety is a top
priority. Aspiro can NOT guarantee that
students will be safe. In the event of
illness or injury, Aspiro will first take care
of the student's needs and contact the parent.
If a student is being taken to the doctor for
any reason, parents will be notified
immediately. Parents also receive a weekly
written progress report. Any medical
concerns are also in that report. Please

for more details.
- Success: Aspiro does not attempt to
define success. Success for one parent may
be gauged by their child going to Harvard and
another parent may feel their child successful
as long as they stay out of jail. Upon
admission, you may talk to our admission's
director and/or ask to talk to our therapist.
Discuss with them your hopes of success and we
can give you a general idea of realistic
expectations.
- Aspiro uses a Solution Focused Model
along with an integrity based agreement system
that teaches students to find their own moral
compass and live by it. Aspiro does not
use punishment, level systems, etc as a form of
discipline.
- Aspiro is an outdoor adventure program where
students live in the outdoors. Phone calls
with parents are not readily available due to
the nature of the program. Therapist can
arrange phone contact via a satellite phone when
necessary.
- Aspiro is employee owned and operated.
Aspiro does not receive or give money to other
professionals for referrals.
