Years of advocacy and countless meetings later... ⤵️

And seeing her dance away at prom was just 🥹 

But V wasn't always like this... 

Before we found the right school placement for her, she was struggling in more ways than one.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but school is about so much more than just academics...

Since being at the_helixschool Violet has made incredible academic progress, but more importantly she has:

✨ built real friendships 
✨ learned self-advocacy skills
✨ grown into the most confident version of herself

All kids deserve to spend their days in a place where they feel safe, seen, and supported.

We are so lucky to have found that for V, and I want you to know that it's possible for your family too.

If your child's current school isn't the right fit and you're exploring alternatives for next year, drop "School Guide" in the comments and we'll send you a free resource to help you get started!

We're in this together 🫶
