” The team that is together now is very good. I am very pleased and very happy with all the staff that is currently working with S. Starting with the teachers and continuing with all the therapist (speech, occupational and ABA ) I believe that we had made progress. S is a different child and I believe that this is just the beginning. Even now writing this email, tears are coming down because I am really happy to see that I made the best decision at this time.

I believe the program will open a lot of doors for more kids.

Thank you so much for all your help and support. I believe that persons like you is what make other parents stronger.”

“The AHSS Care Team Member we have is amazing. Before the therapy, the girls really couldn’t communicate their basic needs, they screamed a lot and needed nonstop supervision. B is now talking in small sentences [and] craves interaction with people. We can now take the girls out in public without being stressed about their behavior. The ABA therapy has given us new hope on working toward[s] living a normal life.”
