My Nonprofit Reviews

We love Pause! We have a sweet autistic, nonverbal son. Due to eloping, possible meltdowns and sensory overload our family has a lot of limitations as we do not want to set him up for failure. Then we found Pause! Pause has been a safe place for our youngest. A place where the workers/volunteers understand him and love him. A place he gets pizza. A place that has calming rooms to deescalate and that has his absolute favorite sensory room in the world where he knows he can find the trampoline and zip-line! I love what Pause provides for our youngest, but my favorite part is what it provides for my 2 older, neurotypical boys. They are great kiddos who never complain about the limits autism puts on our family. But Pause gives us something special they get to do because of their little brother! They love the special Pause outings to Neiderman farm where our family can relax because it’s all people who understand special needs and it’s not overcrowded. At events they are made to feel so special with the games, crafts, prizes, school supplies, Easter baskets, getting to shop for their family members on their own at the Christmas store and sneaking away for age appropriate activities in the teen loft. We are so grateful for all Pause does to take care of special needs kiddos, their siblings and parents!
