“I hope you can appreciate how much you are improving life for these kids! You are opening a lot of doors for them! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! May God bless you and your family!”

“Behavior is better since social group. Talking more and longer sentences.”

“I feel that the group program really helped [my son]. It allowed him to learn to be more interactive with other children who attend AIM and to carry on these skills at school and other settings. I can share the strategies with the school and we can practice them at home, too.”

“These handouts are great for us to go over at home and practice these skills using the same language. We have noticed that this (social skills) is an area of difficulty for our child that really sets her apart from her peers at school. It’s really important to us for her to fit in and be included with her peers.”

“Do we have our group today? We should have our group again” – student from our February group, asks every other week to start our group up again.

“Our son really seems to thrive at AIM and connects with everyone involved in the program. IT is really valuable having programming and services (as well as expectations) tailored to children with Down syndrome.”
