This school, if you'd call it that, is really just a front for pushing a large number of ABA hours through insurance billing. If you're child doesn't currently have ABA therapy needs, they'll "help" you out with that ADOS. they'll brag about their integrated services; then surprise you when you learn that all the integrated providers either quit or were let go. So no real OT, speech, feeding therapy or SEL is actually taking place. But they'll tell you it's ok, if your child's getting ABA because their "providers" are integrating those needs into their ABA goals. Nevermind that those providers, RBTs have only minimal certificate level training NOT the master's level education that occupational and speech therapists have. But to beat it all, if you're a parent that asks questions, advocates for your child or speaks up, get ready to pack your bags. Either you will be accused of breaking the parent conduct policies or your child will be considered too difficult for their facility. Or they will outright tell you they don't take 2 year old children, contrary to this listing. All of those things have happened to parents they chose to no longer include. To date going on 2 dozen children have been expelled or removed due to concerns from within the facility. Some parents have also taken a lawsuit out against the facility after concerns arose and children were terminated without proper transition plans. Sending my child to Anniston was one of the biggest mistakes of my parenting life. I wish I could rewrite history because the trauma that came from our interactions with Anniston have not been easily erased..
