Parent stories
All I ever wanted was to be a mother. I was so excited when my little baby boy, Charlie, was born. I noticed that as he grew, he wasn't progressing like the other children I saw. He wasn't cooing or babbling, he wouldn't point, make eye contact, or laugh. I noticed he would do the same thing over and over again. He was aggressive towards other children and wasn't speaking. He didn't walk until he was 17 months old. I was so sad, scared, and worried. I didn't know what to do. Our pediatrician suggested an autism school that consisted of constant brain stimulation. We took him to the center and he was evaluated and started an individualized program when he was 20 months old. When we walked in the center they asked me, “What do you want him to accomplish?” I responded that I hoped he would be able to talk. They confidently said, “We are going to have him talking so much it's going to drive you crazy.” That was something I wanted so bad but didn't think it would ever be a reality. With just 9 months of constant brain stimulation he “graduated” from this amazing program. This year, he will start kindergarten in a regular classroom. Just the other day, my husband said, “If Charlie doesn't stop talking about golf, I'm going to go crazy!” We both hoped this day would come!! He does talk my ear off and that never gets old because I am so grateful for it. I know this program works. I've seen it! Wanting to provide the same hope, we have brought this program to Utah.
