What parents are saying:
“Wildhaven is quite literally a much needed haven for my son who has autism. He struggles in large groups, with sensory issues, transitions and with social settings. In many environments he's like a square peg in a round hole. That's why we felt so blessed to find Wildhaven.”
"My 11-year-old is Autistic/ADHD and Gifted. Conventional schools couldn’t adapt to my child's differences like Wildhaven can. The facilitators at Wildhaven are special. They are respectful and friendly guides for the children. They give space for the students to rise to the occasion without demand."
"My son had such a great day and I just can’t believe how everyone is in his corner truly getting to know him. Gigi, this work of yours and the guides.. this is life changing, course altering work rooted in love and community. I know I say it a lot, but I am beyond grateful for your vision, commitment to each child AS AN INDIVIDUAL, their specific needs and how to accommodate. Honestly, this experience with Wildhaven will be the thing that saves him."
“We were so lucky he was able to fit right in after several other schools have failed to support him. To say that he had challenges at other schools would be an understatement. At Wildhaven, he finally felt a sense of belonging that we all strive for and deserve, it was pretty incredible to observe! From an angry misunderstood kid he blossomed into a confident young person. We are forever grateful!”
“After three years at Wildhaven, our boy is now able to handle a school with a rigorous academic program with ease. I have no doubt that his enthusiasm for learning, his trust that he can learn anything he wants and his belief that he’s valuable, was all cultivated and home grown at Wildhaven. Now he’s able to tackle all sorts of challenges and have interesting and deep conversations. His mind is completely open to anything. He believes in himself. That is a true gift that Gigi can give our little ones! Thank you, Gigi!!!”
Video testimony from a student:
“All teachers, regardless of the subjects they think they are teaching, are really teaching the same thing: relationship.”
