"Mixed Experience, but Hopeful"

We're still early in our journey with The Forge, but we've experienced some ups and downs. The staff have been friendly and supportive, but we're not entirely convinced about the school's ability to meet our child's needs. We're giving them the benefit of the doubt, and we're hopeful that they'll be able to provide the help our son needs.

"Transformative Experience for Our Son"

We were initially skeptical about The Forge, but the team's dedication, care, and commitment to our son's well-being have been truly remarkable. The programs they offer, such as Forge: Response and Forge: Re-engage, have helped him make significant progress and rediscover his love for learning. We can't thank them enough!
