Testimonials

Parents:

"It was very hard to leave my son. How do I know he will be safe? I have always seen the person in my son... and I want others to see what I do. My son is dealing better with his frustrations since being at Eagleton and the staff has come to his level to better understand him. I applaud them for this."

"It was hard to let go of our son and to trust Eagleton. Grieving, hoping, and accepting the person who he is. We learned to let go... and not to fix things."

"Eagleton saw my son as an individual."

"I learned he could not hear me. The harder I tried... the less I got through. I was at a loss and metaphors didn't work.  It wasn't my fault or his fault. He is very bright but we communicate differently. We are now learning together how to have a two way conversation. "
