 "My husband and I began consideration of SOAR Academy shortly after our daughter Spencer was diagnosed with Autism. We met with the board at one of their meetings and fell in love with the idea and the overall vision the board had for the new school, which our area needed so badly. However, we followed advice from specialists who believed Spencer would benefit from intense ABA Therapy (one of the best types of therapy for children with Autism). Spencer continued ABA for 6 months and while we did see some gains, we felt like Spencer was not showing a lot of the typical signs of Autism, therefore we decided to discontinue ABA and enroll her with SOAR. Enrolling Spencer at SOAR has been one of the best decisions we have made for her since we began this journey. She has improved dramatically in so many areas and overall is a much happier little girl. We are pleased with the improvement in her social interaction and cognitive abilities. Spencer immediately attached herself to her teachers and therapists and we now have a hard time getting her to leave in the afternoons...she is having a blast! As a parent you struggle every day, wondering if the decisions you make regarding your child are the right ones. We have no doubt placing Spencer with SOAR Academy was the right decision and we are excited about what her future developments will be as a result of this decision. - Billy and Stacy H., Spencer's dad and mom - |
"When Noah started attending SOAR Academy last year, he basically said nothing and did very little of anything. Through the work of the teachers he has learned to say several words that are very understandable and now he will count to five on his fingers. He is able to show us the different letters as we ask for them. He also knows his colors and shapes. Through the hard work of the great therapists, he is moving and scooting everywhere. He is actually beginning to get up on all fours and crawl a short way. We have nothing but praise for all those who work with these special needs children."
