Testimonials Resource House parent: I am very happy with the program, the staff and the hours. The support that has been offered by the staff and talks we have had, while watching the children play, gave me some ideas for issues I am having bringing up my children. I have appreciated this more than they likely know. Some days I m honestly not too sure how I would have coped had it not been for these ladies and the extra time they have given us. Autism Summer Camp parent: YMCA Autism camp has helped my son to be more confident in himself and reassure me that he will be a contributing member of both our household and society.
