You can read more about how we do this in 'Our Approach'. You have been the most important part of our son's success. You have proved the "experts" wrong. Our son was not a lost cause, he could learn to manage his anxiety. He needed more help than many others, but it could be done. Of course he developed in his own way but he adapted to communal life and the difference you've made for his future is priceless.
