Hate to even post this, my daughter has been with the hope center for going on 2 years she recently switched over to the school side, she started having meltdowns in morning when it was time to go to school so as a concerned parent we addressed the issue to try to find out what was going on (shes 4) it’s hurtful not knowing why she didn’t want to be there. My wife sent several emails stating her concern we even thought it may be something visual in the classroom because she was happy go lucky up until the meltdowns started, a teacher invited my wife in to peek around and see that my daughter was ok which made my wife feel a lot better and we thought maybe paisley was having a really hard time doing transitions. A week in half later received an email from Susan wood stating how at this point we were just going in circles and she asked how would we like our daughters day to look? Well we would definitely love to have some comfort and reassurance that our daughter was fine, instead was greeted with another email stating they cannot provide services for my daughter anymore. As a parent we should feel comfortable Addressing issues and concerns that we have, that’s our job as parents!!! They advocate so deeply for autism and not leaving a child behind but when we started asking questions that all changed which they should put that in Their policy to other families as well. I put up with my daughters diaper not being correctly changed and her not being correctly wiped multiple times and her having to sit like that the rest of the day in her class knowing my daughter cannot speak and tell someone. My four-year-old also came home with a scratch on her face which has left a scar but I was told it was from another student which I want to believe but at this point they were so quick to disregard my child’ that may be my child was too much and that’s why she was kicked out. Which we have now opened an investigation to make sure everything is legal. I would like to say Troy at the hope center and Laura OT are amazing people and have showed kindness The whole time my child was at the Hope center. As far as Susan I don’t know what happened she used to have some sort of heart for children or at least I thought she did. Beware parents if you feel something is wrong then definitely speak up for your little one, we are their voices
