What Parents and participants are Saying...

"Miss Barton has helped me write and make my movie. I can't think and write good but she sits with me to help me finish it and it is going to be an action yu-gi-oh movie."

James B., Seguin, TX

"I learned to cook plantains.  It took me a few tries but, she is very patient and showed me how and how to be safe around the fryer."

Chase B., Stockdale, TX

“My child is non-verbal, and I am so happy this group exists, they are so welcoming and overlook the fact my son cannot communicate.  They include him and we always look forward to their events.”

Danielle B., Seguin, TX

"I love this group! I joined Seguin Autism when my child was diagnosed with Autism. I already had a son with Down Syndrome. The group helped me not only understand Autism and understand what I needed for my child but also to have a better understanding of how to help both my children and give them a voice. I had a better understanding on what to ask in an ARD meetings and services that are given to child/ adults with intellectual disabilities. When my 3rd child was diagnosed with Autism I was able to feel confident in myself. I have made friends that have become my sisters and have help through the most difficult times in my life. My oldest son has Down Syndrome and is non verbal he will be graduating in 2023 and as I start a new chapter in my life I have come to realize that as my child becomes an adult, services aren't the same. Beyond 22 will give my child the opportunity to learn job skills and become productive in our community. It will also help my other children when we get to that journey."
