"When our three-year-old autistic granddaughter entered Leaps and Bounds she was unable to talk and was barely conscious of her surroundings. Her deep frustrations found expression in long, heartrending tantrums. In just over a year, in the hands of affectionate, enthusiastic, and well-trained therapists working with conscientious supervisors and expert psychologists she has made great strides in her language and social skills. At school she interacts with other children and adults, and at home she has become a loving member of her supportive family. Working closely with parents the staff responds to the ever-changing needs of each individual child. It is an inspiration to see the school in action. " - Dr. and Mrs. E., grandparents "Our youngest son Andrew was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in August 2001, at age 4 years, ten months. He began an IBI program with Leaps and Bounds in September 2001, showing an overall developmental delay of more then 2 years, as wells as many behavioral and attention difficulties. We have been enormously impressed by the skill and professionalism of the therapist at Leaps and Bounds, and overwhelmed by their genuine affection and caring for our child. After 12 months of service, Andrew underwent a full psychometric evaluation at Soldiers Memorial Hospital. The comments from the psychologist speak for themselves: On his original assessment of approximately one and a half years ago, Andrew was unable to sit through the assessment or participate on much of the testing, and demonstrated a significant cognitive delay. When seen for the current assessment, Andrew sat for the full 45 minutes needed for the assessment, and participated fully on all tasks. Overall, Andrew demonstrated average cognitive skills with exceptional visional discrimination skills, and somewhat more difficulty in understanding instructions and complex language. Andrew has made tremendous gains over the last year and a half since his previous assessment. He is no longer demonstrating a cognitive delay and was able to participate appropriately throughout the session …It was very exciting to see such a dramatic and remarkable change from the previous assessment. Andrew, his family, and his (Leaps and Bounds) worked should be commended for the fine work they have done in enabling Andrew to achieve at his potential In short, Andrew has caught up to his peer group (age 6), with his overall cognitive abilities in the Average Range (53rd percentile) and his Nonverbal Abilities in the Above Average Range (79th percentile). The stress level in our home has been hugely reduced, and Andrew is a happy, pleasant little boy, discovering a whole new world thanks to his Leaps and Bounds worker. Our whole family has benefited greatly from working with Leaps and Bounds." -Mr. & Mrs. D. Lowrey, Orillia, Ontario "Deanna and her team of specialists have made a remarkable and enduring difference in our son s life...they have tailored a program designed for his specific needs with well defined goals and frequent updates on his progress...and our son has made significant progress for which we are very grateful...
