I don't know much about them in general, because maybe they ARE great with Special Needs children, but the fact they presumed thier undocumented word over mine qualified our child for their completely ineffective and obviously fake work hours at my house to reunite our family when they don't make as much money doing that

A long time ago, when I was struggling with my daughter, who is on the spectrum, I came to this place. While there, she had a meltdown. Of course, she was very loud. She was around 7 or 8 at the time and they made me feel so bad. They had no patience; only looked at us as if we were beneath them. I don't know if it was race or class. At the time, I was upper middle class and a healthcare professional but I think they assumed based on my brown skin that I was some indigent poor local single black woman with a child, with whom they didn't want to be bothered. I never went back there. Instead, I retired, went back to URI to study Psychology, graduated and worked with my daughter, all by myself. She's going to be 16 years old soon. She's come a long way, although there's still a long way to go. I wouldn't recommend this place for regular nonwhite parents with children on the spectrum. It's probably best for the physicians who bring their children there and the tokens that they allow in their midst.
