Parent testimonials

"It’s difficult to put into words what the Pinnacle experience has meant to me, my daughter, and our entire family. Her diagnosis of autism was official at age 3 1/2 . I felt like we had to move at the speed of light to make up for lost time while we wondered what was wrong with our beautiful girl. She started at Pinnacle right after her 4th birthday and every day was a new miracle. Scripted speech became less. Stimming all but disappeared. Vacant stares were replaced by curious observations and a new confidence in her ability to interact with others. Our family life was transformed as her behaviors became less disruptive and more typical. Every teacher and therapist at Pinnacle is absolutely committed to the success of these children. I am convinced that my daughter’s awakening is due to her time there. I looked out the window today at my delightful, funny, engaging little girl as she pumped in the swing shouting, “Mommy, you don’t need to push me anymore, ‘cause I can do it all by myself. I am a big girl now.” THANK YOU, PINNACLE!"

"Pinnacle has been a true blessing to our family. The care and commitment shown by Pinnacle’s professional staff has allowed our son to achieve things we had only dreamed of prior to his enrollment. What is most impressive, is the seamless flow of information between his teachers and therapists, allowing him to reach his milestones through use of effective and efficient techniques."


"It is almost hard to remember the little 2 ½ year old girl I brought to Pinnacle over a year ago. She didn’t make eye contact, said only a few random words, and did not like games or groups of people. She was lost, and so was I. At a time when I felt scared and alone, Pinnacle became a place of stability for us—a place for hope. The staff is absolutely incredible! The patience and love they have for each and every child is astounding. My daughter has gained a voice and self-confidence. That is invaluable. There are no words to adequately express our thanks to Dr. Ordetx and her staff. I don’t know where we would be without you!"

"We are so proud of our daughter and Pinnacle is to thank! It is just amazing the amount of progress she has made this year. She will be six and has come so far from where she was last year. As she transitions out, we will be SO sad to be leaving Pinnacle and all of the wonderful staff there. Pinnacle will always have a very special place in our hearts. It has changed our lives!"

"My son had never had positive experiences with school. Every day, he cried. That all changed when he began at Pinnacle Academy. They not only teach him, but love him , too. Dr. Ordetx and her staff are amazing and truly enjoy what they do each day. They are skilled to handle any situation. I believe that my son knows that too. The comfort I feel when I leave him at Pinnacle is priceless! Pinnacle Academy has given my son a life."

"The care and attention my son receives at Pinnacle has given him a new found confidence in himself and has tapped into his hidden potentials. The staff’s dedication, determination, and drive to help him to develop is truly heart-warming. Friends and family constantly tell me what great, noticeable improvements they have noticed since he started at Pinnacle. I only wish we had started him there earlier in his life!"

"After experiencing a number of schools, our family found Pinnacle and our son has really started to shine! The staff does not just talk about what can be done, they actually implement it and carry it out. Their goals for my son have exceeded my expectations. We count ourselves VERY lucky to have Pinnacle in our area!"

"Our son’s progress has been amazing. I used to give the Director periodic updates, but would have to send daily emails with all of his notables! Thank you so much for your support, dedication, and above all..your life-saving school!"
