Exceptional Need

Exceptional Testimonials

"EF has been a lifesaver for our family! Our son has always done best with structure, so after he graduated from high school, he was lost. Gone was the familiar, the consistency, the security that he was used to and my husband and I were left scrambling! When we found EF, we knew we had found the right place for him! A place where he is accepted, included, respected and most of all LOVED!"

"EF has assisted our daughter achieve her goals. The staff is professional and accommodates the needs of the participant and parents. It allows participants to improve social skills and communication skills. They make new friends and parents get to network and share information."

“My daughter had given up on everything, thinking no one cared. She has now turned a 180! She absolutely loves the program and it has really helped her. It reminded her that it is permissible to express one’s self, within a safe setting.”

"It gives our special needs adult a place to be treated with respect and do fun activities. She also keeps learning and being engaged with her peers. She loves it and is always telling us about her day and what they will be doing. We love to see how happy EF makes her."

"I love that the young adults have something to look forward to after finishing school. The socialization amongst peers is great. EF means so much to us. I see the growth in my son since attending EF. The staff is amazing. I have recommended EF to other families."

"Exceptional Futures is an answered prayer. It gives my son something to look forward to daily. It provides him exceptional opportunity to interact and socialize with others in a warm, and friendly environment. The Staff treats members like their own families. I am very thankful for their commitment."
