Crystal Academy

In 2002 the company were blessed with the birth of the company's angel David. By the time he reached 18 months of age the company began to see behaviors the company expected missing, and signs of inappropriate behaviors emerging. David retreated rapidly into himself until he made no voluntary sound, would not respond to his name or allow direct eye... contact. He would spend his time when allowed fixated on spinning objects or other repetitive behaviors and would wander in public without regard to danger or the company's presence. The company reported these behaviors to his pediatrician and other medical professionals only to be told that David was simply delayed and would emerge appropriately. That was not the case. The company's familys journey into the ASD world was about to begin. David was diagnosed with Encephalopathy consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) by Dr. Roberto Tuchman at the end of the 2004. The company's lives changed immediately and dramatically as the company immersed ourselves in the job of raising David and learning to be his best possible parent guides out of the seclusion of Autism as well as aiming to provide the most optimal upbringing to the company's youngest son Joshua. There were so many challenges and no clear roadmap to success. The company studied and tried everything the company heard of that had evidence of success or even just sounded as if it made sense. Some things helped and some did not. In that process, the company learned that not all therapies help all children and that in fact all children with ASD have similarities, but each is as unique in challenge as they are in personality. It is based on the success the company were fortunate enough to enjoy with early and intensive intervention, that the company embarked upon the task of bringing evidenced based therapy and individualized school curriculum to as many families of these special children as the company can. community relations for Crystal Academy.
