.....When you know your child has a learning difference and you can't make others understand in our "traditional school system" it is very frightening.  The dePaul School has been a rich blessing not only in our son's life but to our entire family.  To see a child go from tears when reading a book with Mom to reading on his own with joy is true excitement."
