“It’s difficult for me to write about Shining Through without getting emotional. They are absolute life changers and the staff that work there are nothing short of amazing. They have taught my son important life skills that were impossible to teach on our own…They gave us back hope, after a life altering ASD diagnosis. They have been an unwavering support system to our family during our most difficult days. They are like extended family and we are extremely grateful for all they do for our son. I can’t think of a more deserving charity than the Shining Through Centre for Children with Autism.”
“It’s been so nice to see how happy she is when we drop her off, and just to see that she is at a place where they love her and she is learning. “
“It’s indescribable when you first get that diagnosis, but we also remember the doctors saying that he wouldn’t achieve much, that he wouldn’t have friends, he wouldn’t get a job. As parents we couldn’t accept that so we started researching centres that we could go to and we were so happy that we found Shining Through…And the boy the doctor said would never speak is now going to college full-time and we couldn’t be more proud! We owe everything to the dedicated staff at Shining Through.”
“Now I can talk and I can learn!”
“Shining Through has really helped me with a lot of challenges. Thanks to them I’ve gotten better, I’ve grown up, a lot has changed”
“I’ve heard a lot of he or she can’t do that from parents, but as therapists we don’t believe in that. We know that we can teach these kids the things that they love doing and the things that will help them succeed in life. There is no impossible for us, we just need to figure out how they learn best and how we’re going to get it done.”
