We love the R.O.C.K. The facility is so nice, nothing like a barn. Comfortable and well appointed enclosed areas for families to relax during services. The instruction is excellent. Miss Chris takes the time to address self-help skills and motivate positive decision-making and independence around each task. She generously encourages feedback and implements suggestions so that my daughter has a unique and rewarding time. My daughter feels successful at the R.O.C.K.
