“Upon reflection of our experience at the Jim Jiwani Autism Academy, the first thoughts that came to mind were predominantly related to the comfort, support, and safety we feel our son gets from the teachers, aides and all of the collected members of their team. Everyone there knows his name. I know the staff that works with him closely care for him, his needs, and his goals as much as we, his parents do. It’s such a relief to know we’re sending him to a place where everyone is working together with my son’s and other students best interest at heart. They get him. The learning curve we went through as parents of a diagnosed son was steep, and we both have discussed how this is the best place for him and we’re so lucky to have been able to get him into the academy. I truly hope everyone there knows how much they’re appreciated for their efforts, which have exceeded our expectations ten-fold. It really feels like we’re sending him to be with family at this point. He loves them, and it’s such a nice feeling to know that the people there love what they do and are so invested in his future and development that it’s obvious to a parent, that they love him too.”
