Finding this program changed everything.
When our son was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, he quickly began falling behind in his traditional classroom. We felt like no one really understood him—or knew how to help.
He finally had teachers who ‘got’ him, a therapist on-site who helped him learn coping skills, and a classroom where he could focus without feeling overwhelmed. For the first time in years, he looked forward to going to school. As a parent, I can’t express how grateful I am.

“Cody was diagnosed with high-functioning autism, depression, and anxiety. He experienced daily panic attacks — every day, he would call me from school and say, ‘I need to go home, Mom. I can’t handle it. I can’t handle it.’ When we came here, everything changed.”
