Our son joined the Victory Prep program when he was six years old and this special place really changed everything for him, and us. We seamlessly transitioned from going to various locations for ABA therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to having all this support under one roof. Additionally, he gets to explore and express himself through music and art classes, and so much movement in the massive OT room and outdoor playgrounds. He has done gardening club, tried new foods in cooking club, bird watching club, learned to ride a bike, shopped for items at various stores, increased his selfcare skills, and taken on more chores. This is all beyond what we could have imagined for him when we were touring kindergarten classrooms and primarily focused on where he would be safe. He’s not sitting on the sidelines here. He is learning so much and is excited to go to school every day.
All his teachers and therapists work cohesively to know and understand our son and keep his support consistent. Beyond that, we receive parent trainings to help support him in our home and out in the community. Last year, they even helped prepare him for a blood draw (something that has been so traumatic in the past) through social stories and mock doctor visits. I was speechless at how well he did when the draw day arrived. His team has reinforced hope that with the right support and preparation, this kid can do anything.
Every staff member on the Victory campus is not only kind but invested in keeping students safe and supporting their growth. We couldn’t ask for more.
