CIP summer program was a wonderful experience for our daughter. She was able to make great new friends, and came home with stories of excitement from visiting the museum, going to the ball park and taking Bart into the City. She loved being able to be with the students, and wished that she could have stayed longer. If she could attend an on going CIP session , she would. – Parent Berkeley 2011

The other teens looked, walked, talked and acted like my son! It is such a relief to know that there are other teenagers out there like yours. I can't imagine how he must have felt! Parent's of most teens would say "why didn't you ask him?"; but, I am sure parent's of Asperger's teens know I tried and all I got was a "good". – Parent Bloomington 2011

2013 Parent QuotesIt was a great opportunity for my child to work his way through a challenge. The staff was very supportive through his difficulties and encouraged him. They handled him correctly. He had fun with the activities and learned some skills. This program took him out of his comfort zone and helped him to be successful being away.

This is a terrific college prep program for students with Asperger’s and other learning disabilities. CIP thought of everything! I would highly recommend it!

CIP lived up to my expectations. They kept the students VERY BUSY and happy. My child never complained about the program, not once! She learned some of the basics about CIP which I think has greatly facilitated her smooth transition to the fall.
