STUDENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi,

I'm a TFNC student.

"Before I started working with Transitions Foundation, I was losing my way. It has changed my perspective."

Samantha's Story

Success Story

5
I was not going to let my son fall by the wayside. Transitions Foundation was a godsend, filling the very critical gap between high school and adult life, where so many students with autism struggle. It’s a wonderful, supportive and challenging program close to campus that helps them fulfill their potential and lead a full life, just like everyone else. We’re literally watching our son grow into a great young man.
