Lighthouse Autism Center Staff Perspective

“Everlee started attending Lighthouse in April 2021. Since then, we have seen an increase in communication skills by being able to ask for items and activities. Her social skills have also drastically increased! She plays appropriately with peers, responds to greetings, and so much more! We have seen her blossom into the young lady that we see in the center every day and we are so excited to see her growth in the future!”
