This is my son's second year at PALS and we could not be happier. After two years in public school followed by two years in a private school for learning disabled students, we finally feel like his needs are being met. We have seen great strides in his language, academics, and behaviour. Staff are professional and caring and tailor programs for individual students. Staff are also very collaborative and encourage monthly full-team meetings with parents and/or home-team therapists. The student programs are evidence-based and data-driven. Communication is excellent.

My son has been a student at the school for years and has shown incredible growth in his abilities and skills with the thoughtful attention of the staff at the school. The creativity and flexibility in which the school has been able to adapt for his needs has been nothing short of amazing. What was really impressive was during the pandemic of this past year, the school was able to pivot and quickly produce an outstanding curriculum for at home learning until they were able to re-open ensuring a seemless continuation of my son's education. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who has someone who could use this type of attention.

Our son attended public school from grade 1 to grade 4 and although the school district tried their best to help our son, it was not the right fit.

In 2014, when we enrolled our son at PALS, our lives changed. Through the years our son’s overall development immensely improved and we attribute this to the positive learning environment and sustained professionalism and expertise of PALS professionals: teachers, educational instructors, behaviour analyst, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and principal.

At present our son is continuing to build on his functional communication, academic skills, adaptive behaviour, functional and life skills.

We owe a debt of gratitude to PALS Autism Society School Program for opening its doors to our family and altering our son’s future to a brighter tomorrow. We are living proof that with patience, collaboration and mutual support between school and home, individuals living with the diagnosis of autism can live their lives to its fullest potential.

This school is amazing. The teachers really care for and understand the Children under their care. When Covid 19 restrictions prevented children attending, they very quickly and efficiently created an online program that worked! I am truly grateful Pals!

This place changed our life! The staff here are so patient, kind, caring, dedicated, selfless, creative and committed to our kids. If you are looking for inclusion, this is the place. PALS looks past our children's disability and sees them, who they are, their potential and their possibilities. If I could give them 10 stars I would!
