Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I don't know about the West Chester location but the Utah office is not an office but a house! It is set-up to be like a home environment. Perhaps the West Chester office is similiar? Anyone from West Chester NACD on this board? What are their offices like? Again, these people 'know' our children! They completely 'get-it' and understand the sensory issues of many of the kids.
