My son has been with Aspen 2.5 years and within this time has grown significantly. Declan, started out as sociably shy, lacking small and core development and non verbal. Now, he can use small and large objects, balance and ride a bike. At the same time, you cannot shut him up.We do not know what we could do without Lisa, Karla, Maggie and Jamie!!
The Aspen Center is wonderful!!! The quality of the teachers is outstanding, especially with the level of care they provide each day. Goals are set for each child, and its great to see how quickly they learn more language skills, independence, social skills, and so much more. Such a positive experience!
My oldest son started at the Aspen Center when he was 26 months old after being diagnosed with Autism. He barely spoke or made eye contact. He is a completely different kid now. He talks way too much, is toiled trained (which I was afraid would never happen), is sympathetic, affectionate, and his academic skills are above his age. Our whole family learned how to help him achieve his goals from the excellent staff at Aspen Center. Our youngest son has also been at Aspen since he was 14 months old as a peer model, he is typically developing. The focus on language enrichment there shows in his 3000+ word vocabulary and ability to speak in complete paragraphs at age 28 months. I highly recommend this school for typical kids or children with special needs.
