My Nonprofit Reviews

We started our journey with CDS around September 2011 when one of my sons went for a speech evaluation with Clarity. From that one appointment, little did we know how much of a tail spin our world would take afterwards. My son was later diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing disorder, and anxiety- this all stemmed from one appointment that should have been relatively easy. Thankfully the speech therapist was able to recognize the red flags during that session and point me to more valuable resources to help my son. From there we started seeing Kidnetics for Occupational Therapy, got involved with Family Connections of the Upstate, and was able to get involved with the Child Find program for the school system. It was an absolute blessing to have all of those services in ONE BUILDING!!!! I was able to schedule appointments back to back so that instead of making multiple trips throughout the week, I could make one trip for 2 different therapy sessions. Not to mention being able to talk with other parents who had special kiddos like mine. It is nice to be able to connect with and talk with adults who won't be as judgemental as the outside world. This is a safe place for our kids.
Later, I was able to get involved with BabyNet (Just upstairs in the same building) who was able to help provide services for my daughter when she was about 18 months when we noticed possible delays. My other son was able to be evaluated as well through Clarity by a clinical psychologist and was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and short term memory issues. We were also able to get involved with an Asthma support group through Family Connections when he started having attacks.
CDS has been our "one-stop shop" and home away from home for nearly 9 years now and will continue to be for as long as our journey continues.

Thanks CDS for Everything!!!!!
