Shamaecka and Robert Messina

Prior to attending White Clay School our son did not have the best public school experience.  He would often complain of not having friends and suffer severe panic attacks when preparing for school on a daily basis. His unfortunate experiences and our parental determination to give our son the best education possible, led us to White Clay and from day one it has been life changing. 

 

When we first met with Andrea, she confidently advised us that she had the programming available to meet our son’s needs.  We were at first hesitant, but open minded to the possibilities. During the meeting, we discussed our concerns as parents regarding our son’s physical, mental, and academic progress. We had only witnessed regression and uncharacteristic behaviors from his current and previous school.

Andrea was very empathic and understanding regarding our experiences and immediately began to share different programs offered at White Clay that could really help our son. Our meeting was so powerful, that we decided to take a chance with enrollment at White Clay. 

 

Even after the first couple weeks of the White Clay ESY we noticed a difference.  He was happily getting ready for school in the morning and sharing different aspects of his day with us.  He started to become happy with attending school again.  The staff at White Clay are educated and have an extensive background working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, which is clearly reflected in our son’s overall growth. I honestly feel, the staff understands who our son is as person and take the necessary steps to ensure that he succeeds. 

 

We have only seen positive growth every day with our son whether it be reading, writing or just being able to express himself more fluently than we ever thought possible.  We are so happy with our decision. Our son is in a safe and healthy environment, where he continues to show academic growth while developing his social skills.  He loves going to school each day to learn and spend time with his friends.

We are happy to be a part of the White Clay Family,
