Has done so much for our son. An amazing place.

AEIOU did nothing but traumatizing my child. When he first started, he was pushed in the playground hit his head caused ear bleeding and we ended up in the emergency department whole night and the next day no one in AEIOU even asked how he was doing. They do not allow parents to watch therapy and no feedback or posts about daily or weekly programs. After the first few months I asked what was the program and found out they were wasting time teaching him simple instructions like “turn around “touch your nose “which he had already mastered before he entered AEIOU. AEIOU put a video of him saying “more” on their facebook page saying he gained that from their program. It was a joke . We taught him how to speak “more” at home and AEIOU just stole it and posted on Facebook ! I asked them to delete video immediately but they said they need to discuss in meeting and still hasn’t deleted . My child was also traumatized by the behavior Therapist. She didn’t allow my son to give me a cuddle or even hold my hands when I arrived to pick him up because she said he was too clingy to me, which ended up with my son crawling and crying all the way to the car park. It has been four years. This is still breaks my heart when I think back the days in AEIOU. It was a nightmare, worst decision, a waste of money and time, and so traumatizing for the child.
