If you have a Nonverbal Autistic child this is NOT the place to send them. My nephews were going here for a very short time. The older two didn't seem to have much of a problem other than not wanting to go in the mornings which is understandable... But the youngest who is nonverbal autistic , which they said they were equipped to deal with and could handle, was apparently a huge problem. They were informed that he had certain foods he would eat and if it was something he didn't like he would throw it, food was brought in with him so he would have stuff he could eat. BUT, if he didn't eat what they gave him he was not fed anything else! They had him strapped in a chair all day every day and he did not have his pullups changed regularly! The last time he was picked up he had bruises on his legs that weren't there at drop off, straight lights across thighs. The children have not gone back and will not be going back! The person in charge called my sister today asking for payment and got an attitude with her when she said the kids wouldn't be back stating "this is a business you have to pay" but changed her tone real quick when all of the issues were brought up. The way that they treat special needs kids is truly appauling!
