- “The Darnell School provides the most thorough assessment I have seen – and they actually apply what they learn about my child on a daily basis.”
- “Some schools we looked at were in remote locations. We love The Darnell School because it is in the midst of a small, manageable downtown district where our child benefits from local social and vocational opportunities.”
- “Darnell is a small school. They really can (and do) individualize my child’s instruction.”
- “Within two and a half months, I saw vast improvement in my child. This is after a lifetime of failures at other schools public, private, and residential.”
- “I heard about a local experiential farm work program ideal for young adults with autism. I mentioned it to the administration at The Darnell School and they made it happen for my son! They were not afraid to step outside of their school setting and try something new.”
- “Before the Darnell School, I was told my son would never be able to cross the street. Now he is riding a bike to his job at a local recycling company!”
- “The Darnell School is the only program I know that is attached to an organization like HMEA which specializes in adult services. Thankfully, my child is in the hands of people who know what happens after age 22.”
- “It’s not a school with ‘bells and whistles’ that made a difference in my child’s life. It’s the qualifications, the experience, and the inspiration of the teachers at The Darnell School.”
