Before finding Heartspring, Paul struggled finding his place in the world. But since then, he’s discovering more and more joy in his life every day. “The progress he’s made is miraculous. Before Heartspring, he never took his protective equipment off. He would become aggressive. To see your child become so aggressive towards others and himself was heartbreaking.”According to Paul’s parents, Paul’s life turned around once he stepped on Heartspring’s campus. He grew and learned to regulate and manage his behaviors. He blossomed. “We have seen Paul thrive at Heartspring. When we last visited our son, we were so happy with his transformation from being attached to his protective equipment to not needing it at all. It’s a huge step for him!” Paul’s parents attribute his success to the hard work of his staff who accompany him in his learning journey every step of the way. “What we love the most about Heartspring is how the staff and personnel are devoted to making these kids’ lives reach their utmost potential. His behaviors have gone down; his independence has gone up.” And the most rewarding part of witnessing Paul’s growing success is knowing he’s on his way to a happy, independent life. Before, their days were consumed by worry and fear. Now, their hearts are filled with promising hope for Paul’s future. “Seeing our son happy and smiling makes our lives so much easier. We know he’s in good hands.”A Parent’s Testimony of Hope: Paul’s Story7
