Oh, that's easy.what I don’t understand is why they enrolled Abbie in that “program, school, clinic, ABA intensive therapy, getting-ready-to-work training facility”. They don’t like being on a schedule, having to get Abbie up, showered & dressed each morning, they don’t like the long 30 minute drive each way, probably hate being told anything by the people running the clinic, and her enrollment certainly interferes with their travel, eating out, recreational plans for themselves. It’s not going to change or improve Abbie’s state. (Did they think it would?) So why enroll her?
They enrolled her because Priscilla stomped her hooves and refused to let Atha "homeschool" Abbie anymore. She demanded Abbie be somewhere other than home for as long as possible.
Go back and watch the vlogs where they first started discussing The Program™. Priscilla got visibly giddy as they described how Abbie would go first for a few hours a couple days a week and then after the cruise work up to going for longer hours all 5 days of the week. At the mention of something like 6 hours a day, 5 days a week Priscilla looked like she'd been presented with an endless buffet of alcohol and ranch-dipped fried foods.
It was disturbing.
That's why they enrolled her.
And the company is opening a new location much closer to their house in the near future so these 30+ minute each way commutes won't last much longer. It'll be more like 10-15 minutes each way in easier traffic.
