Everyone at The Phoenix Center is on the same page; all are on board with the vision of the school and each student. They are a step above in terms of trained service providers (OT, PT, speech, etc.). For students with multiple disabilities, it is our first choice.

The most impressive thing about The Phoenix Center is their community-based instruction, it’s a real community-based instruction program with a cutting edge approach.

They really look at each child individually and really make an IEP for that child. They help parents facilitate taking the kids into the community; they go to age 21 and prepare them for life. Their transition program is great.

I am so happy I found The Phoenix Center for my child. It has made such a difference in his education and self-esteem. The best part is knowing my child is happy and enjoys going to school every day.

From the very first visit to the Phoenix Center we felt “this is the right place.” Phoenix is a warm, welcoming school with a staff of extraordinarily caring and loving people, people who will go the extra mile, do more than expected, and make you feel like family.

The Phoenix program was tailored to the areas that my son needed work or help in. In 2002, he began transitioning back to public school. At the end of the 2003-04 school year he was fully ready for public school. He's in high school now, getting straight A's and is on the honor roll.

-Parent

When I had lost all hope of my son ever getting an education in a classroom setting, The Phoenix Center stood by our side and helped to get us started in the right direction.

-Parent

The staff at The Phoenix Center is truly extraordinary and treats each child as an individual, finding hidden strengths and making them shine.

-Parent

Within the past few years, my son has made amazing progress—reading, writing, counting money. He has learned to bowl, swim, use the Internet, follow a recipe— he´s even learned to ride horses!
