“We are thankful for ALCA and it’s entire staff for helping Aayush on his path to be independent. With so many programs to best fit Aayush’s need, we can’t thank ALCA enough for it’s tireless efforts to improve Aayush’s capability in all aspects of living independently.”

“We are thankful for ALCA’s amazing staff/teachers who really understand Tristan. They have patience with him and understand the way Tristan needs to be taught but most importantly they treat Tristan as an individual person, with his own personality, his own way of learning. I picked up on that when I was visiting ALCA and I see it on Zoom with all of Tristan’s teachers every school day! Tristan is excelling amazingly at ALCA!”

“We are thankful for the dedicated staff at ALCA; they have impacted our lives tremendously. When Brian began at ALCA, he had minimal communication skills. Without communication, he was unable to express himself and would get so frustrated. Now, 12 years later, even though he’s non-verbal, he is constantly talking to us using his device that ALCA taught him to use. His whole world has changed thanks to ALCA!”

“We are thankful for the ALCA staff for a million reasons but here is one…they see Claudia for the amazing person she is. Oftentimes, Claudia is underestimated by others because of her atypical behaviors. But the ALCA staff doesn’t judge her or think less of her. Instead, they treat her with respect, they celebrate all the wonderful things she is made of and are able to reach her full potential as a student and amazing human being.”

“I am thankful for the dedication, hard work, and love that our staff puts in daily to creating and implementing the absolute best programming that we can provide for our students. I am thankful to have a “front row seat” to see our students meet their goals and to get to see their beautiful smiles as they do it. I am thankful for the trust that our parents give our staff to work with their child and their willingness to share information with the ALCA team to allow us to create the best possible programming for their child.”

“ALCA not only provides a space for our students to grow, learn, and realize their true capabilities, but also provides a space for our staff and our students’ families to do the same. Being able to both witness and partake in those kinds of achievements everyday makes me very thankful to be a part of the ALCA family.”
