"Laura Balogh and Michael A. Murray created an inclusive therapeutic program within our elementary school that enabled students to grow and thrive in classrooms and with their peers. As a retired principal of their elementary school, I am proud to recommend their book, The Therapeutic Inclusion Program: Establishment and Maintenance in Public Schools, to teachers and administrators. The detailed recommendations on how to support students needing a therapeutic inclusion program in public schools is a must-read for any educator, counselor, and administrator looking to create a student-centered program."Sharon Young, retired principal"The Therapeutic Inclusion Program by Murray and Balogh is thoughtfully and meaningfully designed. As a school administrator, I was able to 'feel' and experience the core tenets of a public school's successful therapeutic program. The reader will be able to use Murray and Balogh's book in whole or in part, based on their current needs while developing an in-district program This is a tremendous resource for all stakeholders in the development of their own Therapeutic Inclusion Program."Jessica Murphy, M.Ed., CAGS, Director of Student Services
