"Before Denise Pollard and her staff joined my son’s team, the school environment was, for my son, increasingly a place of failure and a source of anxiety. By working with the school district employees to help them understand his needs, and working with my son to strengthen his ability to self-regulate, the trend was reversed. The improvement all around has been remarkable. Although the journey continues, we are indebted to CLASS for helping us get on the right track."

-Ginger Jones, Parent
