Family Testimonials

“A great program.”

“Jordan started here when he was 20 months, and we got his autism diagnosis when he was 2 ½. He’s 4 ½ now, and The Emerge Center has really be a source of information for us for his diagnosis. It really gave us hope that he would make good progress. It’s like night and day from how Jordan used to be to how he is now. He’s come such a long way in how he interacts with us and understands when we talk to him. It’s been a great program for him.”

Melissa, Jordan’s mom

“They transform lives”

“Our son went from being non-verbal to a social butterfly. Emerge transforms the lives of children with autism. They open them up and teach them life skills that will enhance their futures.”

Brody’s dad

“They embraced our entire family”

“The Emerge Center is an amazing organization that serves as an example of true excellence. From the beginning, the staff embraced not only our child, but our entire family. They have given us the courage, hope, and desire to strive for success for our son's future. With their help, we are confident in knowing Nolan has the opportunity to meet his maximum potential. The BEST is yet to come!”

Angel, Nolan's mom

“Emerge invests the time”

“They truly see the potential in each child they serve. This potential - which comes out naturally in most children - often needs to be drawn out of children with autism. Emerge invests the time to do just that and when you see the outcome, it’s epic. Adan is a new kid.

Josie, Adan’s mom

“Shows how far these kids have all come!”

"Three of Christopher's former Emerge classmates were at his birthday party this weekend. It is really neat that we can mix his former Emerge friends with kids from his other school now. I used to pick: either Emerge or the other school. If I had told people that three of the kids in the room were in the autism program at Emerge, your average party-goer would not have been able to pick them out of the crowd. It shows how far these kids have all come! (Of course, the biggest hit was a girl who Christopher still calls "his girlfriend" and whose family says she still plans to marry Christopher!)"

Colleen, Christopher's mom
