Review for Sandy Cay Inc, Bryan, OH, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I continue to be amazed by the director of Sandy Cay Inc. The birth of her son, who was later diagnosed with both autism and tubular sclerosis, has sparked a passion in her to assist other families with challenges. Both Sandy Cay, INC and The Bryan Center (school) have been meeting the needs of families of autistic children for 10 years as a result of her dedication. With the assistance of many competent and creative women (and men) children are gaining language and social skills to grow and be part of their own families and the larger community.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

as I have seen students respond to behavior plans and gain more self control and the ability to respond appropriately in social situations and in conversation

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Give them a building of their own so rent money could go into programming needs

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the willingness of the staff to work for the benefit of each student or mentee regardless of how long it takes or what creative measures must be used.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

kind, caring, determined and cooperative

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

build a school and provide transitional/or assisted housing to people with an autism label.

Ways to make it better...

if we had our own building and a secretary/organizer

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

funding &

One thing I'd also say is that...
