Only five weeks remain in the school year. Can you believe it? It’s been another year of resilience – for students, parents, teachers, and medical professionals. I hope this summer brings a much-needed sense of closure to another crazy academic year and a renewal of hope and excitement for what lies ahead.
We have a few programs running this summer to support the transition needs of students. We will run virtual classes. Call us with any questions. 888-389-8650 or schedule a screening to discuss options. Schedule a screening call.
