“Peter asks every evening if he gets to go to the Austin Centers tomorrow. The difference between the Austin Centers and his old school is like night and day. He was out of control getting hurt and not learning. He wants to go, is getting his sensory needs met and he is learning and comes home happy. His desire to learn is back. Thank you!!”
