What People Say About Us

“My son Mardon is enrolled in the Robotics program. I have never seen him so excited to attend a program. His exact words were ” someone who understands me.” The staff is patient and kind and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to enroll Mardon into the next program.”

Donna – Mother of a client attending Group-based Autism Services

“I am extremely grateful for the Entry to School program and I believe my child would not be as successful as he is today if it weren’t for this program.”

Entry to School

“At the start of the online sessions I was somewhat skeptical about the outcome and my son’s engagement. However, I was pleasantly surprised how he adjusted to it like a fish in the water. I believe the credit also goes to you and to your team for running it so seamlessly. I look forward to more such programming in the future.”

Entry to School

“I have seen a remarkable difference in the student’s school readiness skills compared to other students that started school without a program like Entry to School. It was also helpful to have access to the transition portfolio.”
