My son just started at Mini Magnolia Park (he is in the 4th grade). I am very happy with the services they provide, and he seems to be doing better. He is Autistic with Emotional Disturbance. At Mini Mag, they use the :Level: system, giving him feedback every 20 minutes, which is also recorded on a daily behavior sheet. On the first day of school, my son actually hugged his teacher, which is amazing because he rarely hugs anyone. He is also considering Mini Mag his 'second home'.
