All parents hope and dream for nothing but the best for their children. This certainly does not fall to the wayside when you discover your child has special needs. At age 2, my son was diagnosed with ASD, verbal apraxia, and sensory integration disorder. Although heartbreaking to discover our child has these challenges, we quickly understood that time is of the essence in getting into the appropriate therapies with the right group of people.
My son has been going to The Center for Growth and Development for 3 years now. From the onset, the Center has been key in helping my family navigate this new world… We have watched our son make amazing progress over the years. His individualized programs are delivered by highly trained therapists in a nurturing, structured and supportive environment. He continues to make great strides thanks to the skillfulness and dedication of his team members.
Balancing a days worth of therapies required for a child on the spectrum is difficult on many levels. However, we know innately that each day we are doing what needs to be done and our son is moving one step closer to achieving his potential. We know he is happy, safe, and learning when he is at the Center.
We know we are leaving him in the capable hands of caring individuals who have his best interests at heart, and who will help him put his best foot forward. We know in our hearts that it is the people we surround our son with that will shape his future. “It takes a village to raise a child” as the saying goes…
We have unwavering beliefs in the capabilities of our son and the talents and expertise of his team members at the Center. Together they work hard every day, and together, they possess the keys to unlock the doors…
The staff at the Center for Growth and Development has certainly touched the life of our little boy. But they have also touched the lives of our entire family. We will be forever grateful for being given the gift of hope for a bright future.
