My son went here for a little over 18 months. Went through 3 teacher changes, my son became more verbal through interaction with the kids. However they do not tell you they allow visitors to come in and "diagnose" children by saying something looks like something their child has had. When asked about these visitors they said they are apart of nj grow to help fund the place, so basically its a money thing. Because they have money their diagnosis is believed over a doctor of 30 years experience with kids. They also use a consulting doctor out side of the the school and do not provide any information about this doctor nor do they have you sign a disclosure to allow medical information of students to be discussed with this doctor yet they do it anyway. It's a violation of HIPPA privacy act. When they are asked about who these people a re they say you are being rude answer expel the child.
