WHAT PARENTS SAY
“After a year of insomnia, meltdowns, sensory issues and a general discontent with the world at large, I have come out from the darkness into the light. My daughter, non-verbal and with severe autism, is happy. On most days, she is genuinely, utterly filled with joy.”
Thank you CDIC for the support and the thousand memories you shared with John Wayne. Starting from the simple routines that he learned from you, to the complex ones that made him know every little detail of his life, they are all acts of not just teaching, but of compassion. Without the help of the whole CDIC team, John Wayne’s development could not have been as easily achieved. A million thanks will not be enough to pay all the memories you shared with my beloved nephew. Those memories will truly be cherished forever.
"Hindi daw sila handang tanggapin si Josh kasi wala pa silang experience sa SPED (Special Education) at wala pa silang naging estudyante na may special needs (They said they were not ready to accept Josh because they had no experience in SPED (Special Education) and had no students with special needs). Sa pakikipag-tulungan ng CDIC, tinanggap ng TNS si Josh (With the cooperation of CDIC, TNS accepted Josh)"
