My son has social/behavioral issues. He struggled greatly in the larger public school setting where the staff was not adequately trained to handle his issues. He has now been at Valley West for the past 2 years and I have to say it's a game-changer! My son loves school and is doing extremely well. The staff at VW is amazing. They truly go above and beyond. I highly recommend VW to any child with social, emotional, or behavioral needs. It gets an A+ in my book.
