"My son is 5 years old and has a gene mutation that is responsible for his epilepsy and learning delays. He has seizures daily and he struggles daily with everyday tasks: eating, using the restroom, riding a bike, communicating his needs and talking in general. He also struggles when he goes someplace new. He gets very overwhelmed easily and will often scream and throw himself on the floor. He also struggles with new experiences. For example: just eating outside on our patio would be a very difficult task for us. We rarely go anywhere new. 

He started the Nicholas Summer School Program 2 weeks ago. I'm happy and simply overjoyed that we have already noticed changes in him. I really can't believe the difference the school has made regarding his behavior and learning. His attention and focus have increased. He will spend more time completing a task, such as coloring (he used to hate coloring and last week he actually requested to color......WHAT???), completing a puzzle, etc. He is overall calmer and happier! I'm able to redirect him much easier without him having a meltdown. He has been talking WAY more and has even started to engage in conversation. He also handles new situations better. We were able to eat outside on our patio last week as a family with no complications from him! He actually ate his entire meal at the table with us! Usually myself or my husband will take turns eating so that one of us can attend to him and his needs. We were able to eat at the same time! We have never been able to do that (other than our kitchen table) before. The improvements that he has made at the Nicholas School has changed, not only him, but our entire family. Thank you so much for making these small changes that are actually huge changes for our entire family. Thanks again and we look forward to continuing his education with you!"
