Why is PACE Place so expensive?
The PACE staff spends approximately 10 hours before each familys visit preparing for the week-long immersion experience. The PACE professionals spend 25 hours of direct time with each family over the week. During the week, the PACE team meets for several hours without the family, thinking about the familys needs and planning for each days consultation. The PACE professionals spend upwards of 10 hours after the familys visit preparing a comprehensive report and conducting follow-up phone consultations. In addition, the familys week-long housing is included in the total cost. With this high level of professional support, PACE Place figures to approximately $100 per hour. Many families report that after their week at PACE Place they have reduced their professional support at home due to new found confidence in their ability to work with their child. Some families increase outside services with professionals, with a renewed vision of the needs of the child/family. All families go home bett
