Sonny’s time at The Ark Centre

Where do we start with how amazing Ark has been for our little boy. He started with just a few words and limited communication, and he is about leave for school with skills we didn’t think would be possible. Not only has the support for Sonny been incredible from the moment he started, but the support for us as a family has been second to none. Every single person at ark is incredible, its been like having the creme de la crème of people care for your child. They have respected and celebrated Sonny –and its been amazing to watch. It’s the first setting he has ever been excited to go to, he runs in every day with a smile on his face. The communication is incredible, we are constantly kept up to date with everything Sonny has done that day, and the whole family sit round to see the photos and videos of his afternoon activities. One of the loveliest things to see is the bonds Sonny has formed with everyone that works at Ark, at drop off its like handing him over to a family member, and I am able to leave and not worry. We noticed a difference in Sonny after the first few weeks - he is able to follow instructions now, he can participate in group activities, his vocab is expanding every day, he is drinking water instead of juice, he is holding hands when out and about, but most importantly he is happy and regulated. It was the missing piece of the puzzle for us, and it was the best investment we have made. Sonny will now be able to start at a mainstream school with a tool box full of coping techniques! Thank you Ark, you changed Sonnys life, and for that we are so grateful!
