Most importantly, I am a mom. I was first introduced to the Technology and Learning Center by enrolling my son in summer camps 10 years ago. My son has autism (previously diagnosed as Aspergers) and ADHD. The center met him where he was and embraced who he is. He absolutely loved being at the center. Struggling in school, I then enrolled him in the after-school Homework Study Program, which he attended from 3rd grade to 12th grade. The center is the reason he was successful in school and was able to graduate from high school. The Homework Study Program helped him complete homework, projects, and study, allowing us to enjoy our family time in the evening. The program greatly helped my son with study skills, and in the summer, the camps taught him valuable STEM skills that he continues to enjoy today.

Children like my son often struggle with social interactions and making friendships. My son felt safe to be himself at the center and was able to build friendships. We continue to host the same type of Game Nights that helped my son develop a circle of friends. Gaming was his safe place, and the ability to be face-to-face with other kids while gaming helped, and continues to help, his social skills.

When the center became available for purchase, my husband and I wanted to continue the Technology and Learning Center’s legacy and services for other children and parents. The center made our home life better, our evenings peaceful, and, most importantly, provided a place where my son could blossom and grow. With the help of our fantastic teachers at the Technology and Learning Center, we will continue to provide a fun twist on tutoring where kids can be successful in school, enjoy fun and safe events that promote emotional growth, and provide a unique opportunity for STEM learning.
