Look at one of our most special success stories! Juanita was diagnosed with autism at 2 1/2 years old, was non-verbal until she was 3 1/2 years old. She displayed extreme behaviors due to her limited speech and inability to express herself. She recieved her first years of formal instruction in the PPCD program for children with disabilities. She received speech therapy, and a small intensive learning environment. In-Home Parent Training was also provided to her family to help provide a strong structured environment with visual rich supports. She is now a magnet student in all general education classes blazing trails!
