Three-year-old Avery Grace walked the Just As I Am Fashion Show runway this month along with one of her behavioral therapists. Partners In Learning has several behavioral therapists who provide ABA therapy for children with autism.
Avery receives early education, behavior support, ABA therapy, Family Support, and Community Classroom Support. We started providing community classroom support when Avery was enrolled in another school. Community classroom support is one of our FREE programs that all teachers within the community can request to help support classroom management, provide trainings, and help families with assessments and referrals.
Avery’s parents say that Partners in Learning is an answered prayer. Avery was receiving preschool care at a small Christian school in the area and Avery’s parents were getting notes home daily that she was problematic and a disturbance to her teachers and peers. Then on a Friday afternoon, they received an email saying that they were no longer able to support Avery's needs and that she was being exited from the program.
"We felt lost. People told us we needed to reach out to Partners In Learning. Partners in Learning lovingly opened their arms and welcomed Avery, differences and all. Partners in Learning is so much more than a preschool. It's home."
