We love our child, and, like all of you, were heartbroken to learn that he would be different and have these tremendous challenges. The public high school special education class that our son was in had him tracing his name every morning and taking out the recycling, that's about it. This was very discouraging. We were adamant that our son was able to do so much more than that. We wanted him to be able to realize his potential and have self-determination in life. That's why we were overjoyed to find ATSC, where our son is not only learning, he actually enjoys going to class every day. Furthermore, we know that at ATSC, he is also loved and is very safe. If you love and believe in your child, and you know that your child is way more capable than what you have been told, please consider ATSC for your child's education and personal development!
We have tried every program for our nonverbal autistic son, this program is by far the best ever, we drive all the way from Colorado to bring him there for 3 weeks at a time. We hope!!!to continue this program in Colorado.
I love this place!!!! They are amazing professionals and they treat me, and my kids with respect and love. The directors are great people, they are people that work as a volunteers because they do care for our kids and they are very hard working people that do not get paid for the awesome job they do and dedicate to help kids with Autism. The teachers are also an A+. Alternative Teaching Strategy Center is the place that brought the smile back to my kid's face. God bless this place.
We are so grateful to have found ATSC. Our son has attended for over 4.5 years and he has made immense gains in all academic areas...areas where the school districts couldn't teach my son and kept "dumbing down" his goals. He went from not know any numbers or letters to being able to identify and type lower/uppercase letter independently as well as simple addition, skip counting, identifying time (analog/digital), calendar concepts, nouns, verbs, colors, weather, etc. Because ATSC uses VCA (Visual Communication Analysis), my son's behaviors were reduce by 80%! He is a much happier child now and we are a much more cohesive family all thanks to Alternative Teaching Strategy Center!
This place is helpful to our nonverbal autistic child. He is learning to type, so he can communicate.
