My son was diagnosed with spectrum autism, I am very happy and grateful that we chose this school (Normal Heights Elementary), even though we drive 2miles every day- we saw a big improvement in him, at the age of 3 he can read simple words and now he''s 5 he can read a lot, He also improved in socializing. And now he has a lot of friends, I thank Ms. Julie Watson, Ms. Preciado-Limon, Ms. Page and all his speech therapists and OT, Mr. Tony, Ms. Hall, Ms. Jennifer, and Ms. Victoria, you guys have a big part of my son''s improvement.
