I cannot say enough good things about Willard Orchard Hills! They have made such a personal investment in my daughter's development. She has made so much progress due to them always having open communication with me as her parent. The kids in her class stepped in as peers and have made my girl feel so included. They have kept her IEP flexible throughout the year in order to support her as much or as little as she needs at the time. I have heard many sad stories about special needs kiddos getting lost in the cracks or parents having to fight to get what they need. Thankfully...this couldn't be farther from our experience. I am forever grateful for them taking the time to get to know her and helping her be excited about challenging herself. Love this school and it's teachers so much! The office staff is so kind and helpful too!
