Welcome to the latest edition of The Victory Voice where we celebrate the incredible impact and success that our students achieve at The Victory Center for Autism and Related Disabilities.
We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Mariana to hear her story about how The Victory Center is changing lives. All three of her boys have enjoyed our school's programs and have now graduated into mainstream schools. Thank you to the donors and staff who make stories like Mariana's possible.
"Putting a kid through a school like this is time consuming and it costs a lot of money because these teachers are spending months trying to teach them the skills that they need to go on in life. The donations and the contributions, they are changing lives, not only of these kids but of entire families."
The 2024-2025 school year kicked off on August 19th with a splash! Our students are diving into the new year with a variety of exciting activities, from soaking up the sun and perfecting their tennis strokes to making impressive strides in the classroom and pushing their limits during workouts. It's a fantastic start to a year certain to be filled with growth, new skills and fun!
The Victory Center is committed to helping children with autism and related disabilities receive the most effective therapeutic intervention, thereby allowing each child to reach his or her full potential.
All of our programs are conducted year-round. Students spend the entire school day in a 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 student-teacher ratio across all campus and off-campus activities. This ensures they receive highly intensive, individualized programs with frequent opportunities for facilitated social interaction.
