My son Dennis, aged 10 (ASD) attended TCI for 6 months. As he was considered to be non responsive to verbal instructions, Dennis was way behind in math and reading. This resulted in a very unwilling boy to do any math at all. During this 6 months at TCI, Dennis has changed 360 degrees and now he loves math! He practices at home without any prompts and is very proud of his achievements!

Next to that, his social skills have improved enormously. Social skills are embedded in the whole school environment, so it’s a continuos process of learning throughout the day. I do believe that the combination of one to one education with a fair amount of integration in a main stream school is a total win-win situation. However, this can only be achieved if you have a dedicated team of teachers, like those in TCI, who work with mainstream teachers, like The Harbour School, to make it happen. They have proved that it’s possible!

The teachers are totally dedicated to Dennis and it makes you feel welcomed every day. In Dennis' previous school, he would sneak into the classroom and refuse to say hello to the teacher and/or peers. Now he is a happy camper who says hello to everyone and shows a lot more confidence!  As a parent, you can only dream that all schools in the whole world would be set up like this, so you can give your child the utmost of any education suitable for his specific needs. Dennis has attended 4 types of schools in his short life and TCI proved to be at the very very top of any education available for kids with ASD! Regrettably we will leave TCI and return to our home country but I am convinced that more kids will blossom by attending TCI in the future!

Kaden has studied at TCI programme and The Harbour School since May 2010. As parents of an autistic kid,we feel that it is hard to teach Kaden to have a normal social life with other kids. Throwing his tantrums, lack of self- control, understanding, and speech bothers us a lot at home. TCI's ABA programme works very well on him. I can see a dramatic change in Kaden’s behaviour and he has become a talkative and more reasonable young man. The great team at TCI has helped Kaden understand and obey rules (take turns, sharing). With the successful integration opportunities that TCI provides, Kaden has become able to play and learn with other typical kids at Kindergarten class which affects him a lot. We appreciate the patience, care, and love of all the one to one teachers have given to Kaden. Kaden is very lucky to have them around during these critical moments. Without all of their help, I am sure Kaden would not have improved so much.

Thank you!
