The workers in this facility are very unprofessional. My autistic niece was called stupid by a female worker who’s name I don’t know & also yelled at by male worker named Corey. I think it’s sick for someone to treat a special needs child in that manner & should not be working with children at all. Complaints will be filed against this place.
