Then, our pre-teen joined, eventually leading to our entire family signing up. It brought us all together, and felt like we added a group of amazing people to our family!

They accepted him into the program and then he was made to stand on the sidelines, not allowed to participate, pulled out of the class while his neurotypical sister was allowed to be taught with everyone else. Yes as a 5 year old he wasn't following instructions well. But be honest with the parent on what you can and cannot handle. Don't discriminate with children.
