Volunteering at non-Pareil is the best part of my week. I have the privilege of spending time with brilliant, fun people while watching them grow both intellectually and socially. Kudos to Dan, Gary, and all of the staff at non-Pareil for creating such a nurturing learning environment for young adults on the spectrum.

As a volunteer, I am finding the time I spend at non-Pareil invaluable. Watching these young people thrive and create fulfilling lives is so powerful. I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a nurturing environment, and look forward to being an observer to the exciting future ahead!!

My 23 year old son started with NonPareil this past year. He is very high functioning with Asperger's Sydnrome. NonPareil provides such a necessary outlet to instill purpose, fulfillment and a place of belonging to a group of hard-working, bright and sensitive young adults who otherwise are left struggling to find acceptance and success. We have been thrilled with NonPareil, and my son loves it there, and loves even more the road to independence that he is building for himself. I am very hopeful for the future of NonPareil and the possibilities ahead for this extraordinary non-profit.

Bringing purpose and fulfillment to the lives of others, nonPareil and their staff are long on patience, compassion and true understanding in working with autistic individuals and their families who are desperately searching for solutions. The staff and individuals serving nonPareil clients understand because someone in their own lives is struggling to find their way through the maze of autism. They "get" it. Taking a bold risk to start this organization and a major leap of faith, Dan Selec and Gary Moore quit with the "why" and moved forward with the "how" years ago. These men recognized the vision set before them and have acted with determination to surround themselves with an amazing staff who work long, diligent days to make a difference in the lives of individuals who often are given little hope for a future. The program is phenomenal showcasing gifts and abilities of people who are often cast aside. Having worked with nonPareil both as a parent and in a professional capacity, it truly is unparalleled in its scope, goals and results!

I love nonPareil. I started school here in May of 2011, and I've never been happier in my life. I went from having almost no friends to having more friends than I know how to handle almost immediately. The curriculum is great, and I love that we don't have to take any courses that don't directly effect our department. My teacher is really awesome because we communicate relatively similarly, so there are less misinterpretations or conflicts due to communication errors. Dan and Gary, the guys who run things here, are awesome; they take a personal interest in all of us here, and they're really understanding about just about anything imaginable. I've never been happier in my life, and nonPareil is a HUGE part of making that happen. My advice for if you're thinking about sending your kid here, or going here yourself, is to stop thinking about it and just do it! You will be missing out on something unimaginably huge and incomparably awesome if you don't.

My son struggles with Asperger's syndrome. After graduating high school, he found it extraordinarily difficult to attend college or even find work. The nonPareil institute provides a place where he can learn valuable skills writing video games and interacting with others in a collaborative work environment. Traditional higher education could not provide this kind of training, experience and understanding. We see tremendous progress and expect that his experience at nonPareil will serve him well for years to come.

For her entire life, our daughter wanted to create and develop video games. Her uniquenesses due to autism severely limited her options for career training in this field. nonPareil Institute offers, not only the training necessary for her career choice, but also a community of like-minded individuals searching to find their place in this world. She has grown professionally and, more importantly, personally into a more confident person now living independently of family and flourishing because of the people surrounding her providing instruction and support. Thank you, nonPareil!

nonPareil offers life opportunity for growth, learning, friendship, and careers for people on the autism spectrum. It has made an incredible difference in my son's life. I have already recommended it to numerous families.

My son is a high functioning autistic young man in his 20's. After graduating with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science last spring, he had overwhelming anxiety related to actually putting into practice what he had learned. The thought of applying for a job was incapacitating. After we heard about nonPareil, I scheduled an appointment with Gary to see what it was all about. What an amazing place! Gary and the crew made my son and I feel welcomed. It is a safe environment with great opportunities for anyone on the autistic spectrum. My son has gained confidence and has decreased anxiety overall. He now lives on his own in the Plano area and takes a bus to travel to nonPareil. The staff is outstanding! They have been incredibly helpful with any problems he has encountered and have been kind, nonjudgemental, and patient as well as being excellent communicators. The crew at nonPareil are free to be themselves to learn and produce products in a field that is a favorite pastime for most of them. It is an opportunity that I never thought would be available to my son.

My son has attended nonPareil since August of 2011. He finally has a place where he belongs! He is learning valuable skills in an industry he is enthusiastic about. Every crew member, staff member and instructor works to help autistic adults reach his or her full potential. nonPareil's high tech training and potential for future employment (for the crew members) is unparalleled. For our son, equally important, is the opportunity to make acquaintances and friendships with others that share his interests. We had a birthday party at our house over the summer and for the first time since he was very young, our son had a "full house" of friends that attended his party!! That was very special for him and our whole family.
