CLOSING JULY 20, 2012
With great sadness, I report
that the APS Autism Program will be closing its doors July 20th. This was a very difficult decision; made
after all possible strategies to continue were exhausted. I feel
truly blessed to have met and worked with everyone who attended and their caregivers and I have complete faith that
our amazing participants will be able to find success and happiness in future endeavors. Thank you for your support!
Now OPEN for Intakes in Ivyland, PA!
