Inclusion

My daughter is on the autism spectrum, and the Y is phenomenal in helping her develop social skills.

Shawndi,

Tracy and I wanted to take a moment and thank you, Chris, and the Y-Inclusion staff for all you have done for our son Jake. Jake has been able to fully participate in the TLC after school program because of your committed and supportive staff. He is able to socialize with his peers, play games and do arts/crafts. He was even able to earn the ability to go on field trips during the Summer with the help and accompaniment of Chris.

We cannot say enough about Chris. On a daily basis, Chris keeps us informed about Jake's progress. We have excellent communication. It's great to see her involvement with his socialization. Tracy and I can go to work with peace of mind and not have to worry about Jake. We thank all of you for everything that you do for our kids (and parents!) each and every day!

Sincerely,
Jeff and Tracy Persic

Our son has been working with his Y Inclusion aide for about a year now, and we couldn't be happier with our aide and the program. We know he is really able to participate in all the Y activities in a way he would not be able to without her. She really helps him get the most out of his time at the Y. From socializing to doing homework, we know he is safe, happy and well-cared for while he is there.

The Y Inclusion program has been a vital asset to my child's development, facilitating his inclusion in a regular after school care and summer camp program. The staff has shown a great ability to accommodate his needs and help him progress. His participation has resulted in significant improvements in behavior, social development and independence.

I have always been pleased with the educational background and credentials of the providers at YMCA. Most of them come from educational facilities. My son, who has a disability, has progressed a lot with the help from the Y Inclusion staff, especially socially and emotionally. Best part is going to the day care works as a motivating factor for my son. Y Inclusion always has a trained staff available at all the times at my request. Y Inclusion has always evaluated my child as and when his needs change and the management is pretty open for implementing changes I request and I appreciate them for that. I highly recommend Y Inclusion for any of your day care needs.
