Finding FIRST for M was the greatest find ever he is so happy there and has come on in leaps and bounds. Every one is treated as an equal and every one is treated with respect and that respect is returned 10 fold. M is now doing things that I never thought possible, he is always learning and becoming more independent each day
It's a great place for people to work, the staff are friendly and it's all fun too
