"I first found out about EMC² and The AIM Program back in February 2006 when my sister put her family on it. She told me they had a free scholarship program for children with Autism (which is my son) and that I should take a look into it. At first I was skeptical but I thought if there is a chance my son could improve and it didn't involve doctors and shots I was up for it. Zach went on the tray in March 2006. At the 5-month recheck his life force was rising. The first thing I noticed was that he wasn't getting the usual colds and flus that he normally did. Then his milk allergy went away and slowly but surely he began to start coming more out of his shell.
One day his guidance counselor at school called me stunned to say Zach just asked how her meeting went. This was very unusual since normally he was in his own world and didn't realize anyone else had a life. A few months later my brother told me he had talked to Zach on the phone. I was shocked! Zach never answered the phone. When I asked him about it he said he looked at the caller ID and knew it was his uncle calling so he thought it would be okay to answer it.
Last year in 7th grade his class went and performed a little skit in front of the third graders. This year he and his class read to the first graders once a month and he likes it. Its amazing! He still has some things to work on like sensory issues but I'm just grateful for how much he's opening up.
Thank you EMC²"
