Success Story

"One Child's Transformation: The Power of Personalized Services"

Meet this bright and energetic child who began his journey with Partners and Learning recently. Before starting services, he faced significant communication challenges. Completely nonverbal, he struggled to express his wants and needs, leading to a lot of frustration and moments of distress. However, everything changed when he started receiving services from Partners and Learning. The dedicated team of professionals worked closely with him, integrating his therapy into his natural learning environment. They introduced this little cutie to a communicative assisted device through patience, consistency, and innovative techniques. The transformation was remarkable. Almost immediately, he began using the device to communicate. For the first time, he could express himself, ask for needed things, and interact with those around him. This newfound communication ability brought immense joy and relief to him and his family. His days became much happier, filled with smiles and meaningful interactions. Given his significant progress, the team at Partners and Learning is now looking to increase his therapy hours.


His story is a testament to the power of personalized services and the dedication of the Partners and Learning team. It's a story of hope, progress, and the incredible difference the right support can make in a child's life.

Start and Stop Routine: A Guide to Thriving with Your Child's ADHD from our Clinical Services Director, Cassie Karriker

Establishing a Start and Stop Routine is a powerful tool that can be effective for children of all ages as long as consistency is maintained. When guiding children towards behaviors we want them to start, we calmly communicate the expectation once, allowing five seconds for compliance. If needed, we calmly repeat the instruction and wait another five seconds before implementing a consequence if necessary. On the other hand, when aiming to stop certain behaviors, we provide the instruction once, wait five seconds, and then address any non-compliance with a consequence. We can help children develop positive habits and eliminate negative behaviors by implementing this structured approach with patience and consistency.


Community Connections

"Exploring Developmentally Appropriate Practices and Exciting Career Opportunities at PIL"

We hosted visitors from Catawba College for a session on developmentally appropriate practices in the classroom. This interactive session concentrated on creating engaging and effective learning environments for all students. The RSS CTE Group explored the exciting career opportunities available at PIL and we highlighted the diverse professional paths students can pursue with us. Additionally, we toured our amazing Adventure Forest!


Popsicle Social Event


We recently hosted our annual inclusive "popsicle social," which was attended by over 100 people. Families enjoyed a delicious meal and popsicles while exploring the adventure forest with their loved ones. Local businesses also provided information about summer activities for families to enjoy, in addition to our own program.
