I consider CLASS to be a valuable Bay Area resource for anyone seeking to understand, provide for or protect the educational interest of an autistic child." --Robert Edwards, Special Education Attorney, San Francisco

She is also able to interact with all participants in a positive manner and establish a progressive process for the 'team' to commence." --Sue Digre, Director of Family Services for PARCA
