I work at an adolescent residential program and developed the software as we were going through certification. There are a couple of large organizations using the package, and I thought that some of you may find it useful. There is a free trial version of the software located at <a href="http://www.customdataconstruction.com" target="_blank">http://www.customdataconstruction.com</a> .
