Highlights

	My child has grown so much during her time at REACH and is becoming a fine young lady. The REACH program gives her a safe, predictable environment, full of love and support. It has made a deep and meaningful impact in her life.
	My child was referred to the program because was nearly non-vocal. He would get very upset when he would lose a game or fail at something and would not speak with anyone who tried to comfort him or reassure him. But amazingly while at REACH he began to speak. Initially he only spoke in a whisper. One day at REACH, he was playing a teambuilding game where one person is blindfolded, and the other person has to direct them to their objective only by using their voice. It was a very powerful moment when I heard him enthusiastically shouting and urging his partner to complete the task.
	My child had an incredibly difficult time connecting with peers and navigating social situations. He joined REACH Expeditions and REACH Tutoring/Distance Learning programs in 2017. He is now thriving socially and growing friendships. "We tried everything, but nothing worked. The REACH program has given him a place where he is valued, supported, and encouraged to be himself. I can't thank you enough for all that you've done."
