My daughter was formally diagnosed with autism this year.\u00a0 We have always homeschooled and have been able to give her an educational experience tailored to her needs.\u00a0 As she is entering her teen years we are beginning to see how much she could benefit from therapeutic opportunities to learn, grow and gain skills for her future.\u00a0 Unfortunately, such therapies are costly!\u00a0 Enter ESA.\u00a0 What an amazing resource this could be to our daughter for her future success!\u00a0 And so we started the process.\u00a0 We quickly felt lost, confused and disheartened!\u00a0 Something that should be straightforward-getting the help our daughter needs-was fraught with nuances, deadlines, tricks and traps.\u00a0 Thank God a friend told us about Love Your School!\u00a0 Finding this organization to guide us through this stressful process has been a tremendous blessing to our family.\u00a0 Jenny Clark and her talented colleague Shannon Kemptster changed the trajectory of our experience.\u00a0 They have taken us from uncertainty and anxiety to assurance and confidence.\u00a0 They have been there every step of the way making sure we have the knowledge and experience to walk this path.\u00a0 We are still in the middle of the process but I have confidence that we will succeed in getting the resources my daughter needs and deserves.<\/div>\n

While I am so relieved to have Love Your School as an ally, my heart is greatly burdened to think about parents who try to navigate this process alone.\u00a0 I have so many advantages.\u00a0 I have a college degree, I have time and I have the energy to fight the good fight.\u00a0 But what about those parents who don\u2019t?\u00a0 What about those who are working multiple jobs to make ends meet or those who don\u2019t have the time or energy to try to make sense of the complicated process?\u00a0 I am again so very thankful that an organization like Love Your School is there to provide guidance and assurance to all families because truly no child who needs help and no family who needs resources should be left to walk this path alone.\u00a0 On behalf of parents and children everywhere\u2026Thank you Love Your School!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
