My teenage daughter, diagnosed with autism at age 4, has had the good fortune to work with the staff from Summit from the time she was a preschooler. The expertise of the staff (teachers, aides, therapists, psychologists etc.), in teaching students with autism using evidence based methods is unmatched in WNY. My daughter has learned and achieved more than we ever dreamed possible. I feel extremely blessed to have such a tremendous resource - from a highly effective year-round school program, to in-home support, to respite services - right at my doorstep.
Our experience with Summit's pre-school program has not been good. They employ inexperienced staff and have a very high staff turnover rate. They do not have an actual Speech Pathologist, and there is no supervision by management of what goes on in the classrooms. This school ignored the fact that my child was starting to speak, ignored that he was reading, and treated him as if he was a lot lower functioning than he is. We have had to fight with them every step of the way to get them to engage our child and teach him -- he was outright bored at school. They were not very accomodating to us coming in to observe our child in the classroom, and when we finally got in, we understood why. If you're sending your child to Summit, you really need to fight with them to get your child's needs met.
Summit has brought my son to academic levels I never thought were possible. The teachers are very loving and kind. I dont know where we would be without summit.
Summit has brought my son to a level of learning and friendship I didn't think he would ever meet. The staff is dedicated to the whole learning process of the kids as well as their families. Thank you Summit for all your work!
