"I want share our experience since Jack began going to the newly created Post 21 program run by Sandra and Carolyn.
As many in our situation probably know too well, when our children approach 21, a very real apprehension sets in. Is there anything out there for our children that will enrich their lives once they turn 21 and beyond?
From the moment of the intake interview, and since, it was obvious that Sandra and Carolyn care deeply about all the participants in the program. But, even more than that, they have the skill and talent to communicate with our son on a very real and deep level. They strive to and have created a very focussed program tailored specifically to Jack. A program that focusses on his strengths and finds new ones. As a result, Jack is thriving in the program and beyond and is very happy more communicative than ever. The physical space created is also wonderful. The program has exceeded our expectations.
I hope others get a chance to participate in this program."
Howard and Kate (Jack’s parents)
"Caring for a person with complex care needs can be exhausting. Post 21 gives my husband & I some much needed time to rest, spend time together, run errands and get things done without having to worry about our son.
We are so happy we have a quality program with highly qualified staff that are respectful of our son’s needs. Post 21 allows for variations in his days and allows development to the best of his abilities. The program provides multiple activities in a safe, stimulating environment that devotes attention to the individual’s needs.
We are so happy that our son is able to have this fantastic program and amazing staff."
Annette (Luca's mom)
"The one place I know, in my heart, I can feel confident that my son is safe, valued and respected. He returns home happy, calm and confident. I have hit the program lottery! Board members, founders and staff have invested their hearts and souls into this program. It’s obvious that Post 21 was born from a loving and holistic dream to value the individual and provide them with an environment in which they can thrive."
"At Post 21 I feel important. The staff help me learn and make choices. I have friends there and it feels like a family. I want to stay there until I am 100 years old. It is the best program ever!" (Geoffrey)
Sincerely,
Joanne and Geoffrey
"We feel that Post 21 has given Ben a real sense of purpose to his days. He has tasks he is responsible for (watering plants and filling the water bottles), he works on his goals (writing independently with writing aids and increasing his vocabulary) and he is able to explore his real interests!
The staff at Post 21 are focused on what makes Ben tick. He is more engaged in activities than he was in the school system because a program has been geared to just him. It has given him a fun, comfortable, safe community to become his best self!"
Michele (Ben's mom)
"Post 21 has been a very good program for my son. The staff is very caring and works with everyone to participate in the activities. They keep me inform with what’s happening in the Program and always respond to my questions promptly.
Dylan comes home with a huge smile after he leaves the program.
I would encourage other parents to check this program, Post 21."
