Review for nonPareil Institute, Plano, TX, USA
nonPareil is hands-on! They are not just giving people job skills to people on the Autism spectrum, they are helping them work together in productive design teams by providing a specialized environment for learning and working on REAL products. Their students/employees are extremely talented but find it hard, if not impossible, to function in most workplaces. NonPareil, has given my son a fulfilling career path that takes advantage of his talent, skill, and focus. Without nonPareil, he would have been locked into minimum-wage, unskilled jobs. Now he can take pride in doing high quality work with highly skilled team members. He is on the path to being self sufficient.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give them their own campus so that they can accept all of the talented Autistic adults that would benefit from their program. Fulfilling their dream of a residential campus would open up the world to their students and employees who can function at an extraordinary high level when they are in the right environment, and allow society to benefit from their contributions. Unfortunately, they now must put people who need them - and whom they need - on a waiting list that grows by the day.

Review for nonPareil Institute, Plano, TX, USA
My son, Bobby is learning skills to work in a field that he is passionate about, in an environment that is disigned to take advantage of his unique talents. nonPareil is the only organization that understands and appreciates his creativity, and can channel it in a way that is building his self esteme, his skills, and his opportunity for an independent future. nonPareil's gaming and phone app products are highly competitive in the marketplace. Bobby is proud to be part of a growing company, one that happens to embrace his talents as an adult on the autism spectrum.
