"Our daughter was not able to attend any school in the Madison area. We also could not find any suitable school within an hour or so of Madison that would work. We were fortunate to learn of Common Threads, and for the first time in five years, our daughter is able to go to school each day in a safe and respected environment. We have seen a marked improvement in our daughter's ability to react to situations that previously would have immediately resulted in her being dysregulated. We can't say enough about how thankful we are that Common Threads is able to serve our community, and how amazing their staff is on every level."

"Common Threads is such a welcoming and accepting place, my daughter thrives in activities she normally would not - that is what can be achieved by an amazing staff that believes in the individual."

"The staff was everything we could have asked for– kind, patient, competent, and responsive. Our son thrived in the experience, and had great fun at the same time. Thank you, Common Threads!"

"My son has his first real friend — thanks to the skills and tools he learned at Common Threads."

"As parents we want our kids to be successful in everything that they do. We don’t ask for perfect days, just more consistent better days. Our daughter is really enjoying going to school. She has been in such a great mood when she gets home also. We are so thankful for the opportunity that she has to be in your school."

"First of all, I want to thank you and everyone else for everything you are doing for my sweet son. He loves you and the Common Threads program is so good for him!  I am happy beyond measure that there are resources like this and that people like you dedicate your lives to helping kids with autism. I know it is not an easy road, but you are giving these kids (and parents) acceptance, understanding, and hope. I will be forever thankful."
