A Parent Perspective
Meet Ava
Finding a school that would care for Ava and cater for her health needs was very important for her family. Having a child with challenges like Ava’s, the focus becomes finding a place where she is accepted and has genuine friendships just as equally as having an educational program that excites and engages students.
