What Others Say…

A big thank you to all the Houston staff for putting on such a fun, instructive and supportive camp for our kiddos! My daughter had a great time and I can clearly see ways in which she has grown and improved in her art and social skills, building on what she got out of last summer’s camp, as well. Like the other testimonials from the family celebration night, we are so grateful for this institute and the opportunity it provides for our ASD family members to be “seen” and welcomed wholeheartedly!

The nonPareil Institute offers an opportunity for young adults on the autism spectrum who struggle to find and keep a meaningful job to learn new technology. In the process, they also learn more about communication, professionalism, and teamwork. Our son has a college degree, but if he was not working at our own business, he would probably be unemployed. Our son started the online program at nonPareil Online … and we feel the people working with him are patient and familiar with the struggles he has. The leaders at nonPareil are responsive to requests, and share information about how your loved one is doing, and about achievements and future plans. We believe our son is learning valuable things, and are very thankful for the help in moving him forward. We have found that services are extremely scarce for adults on the spectrum, and we would like to see nonPareil grow and flourish, until every adult with these struggles is as independent as they can be.

It is so cool to see [my son] excited about learning new skills [at nP Online]. He’s taken over the dining room and turned it into his own learning command post. It’s impressive I must say.

I enjoy learning the things [at nP Online], I need to learn to be able to do what I want in the future.

Our son … [is] enjoying every day of it. This is what we saw: His conversation increased; he made friends; he started talking to us more; he started talking to EVERYONE more, asking questions. Staff challenged him to be more organized and to participate. He felt safe and cared for. This is beyond anything we could have asked for or imagined. We thank God for nonPareil.

Our son is a “high functioning” adult on the autism spectrum. Even though he earned a college degree, can live fairly independently and is multi-talented, we were unable to envision a productive and secure future for him. He had been out of college for about 6 years and had little to no job experience, when we learned about nonPareil Institute. … Much to our surprise he fell in love with the program immediately and now sees it as a potential career path. Without a doubt, the staff at nonPareil “get it.” … We could not be more pleased and very grateful that we found nonPareil!

D.C.

[nonPareil] is an amazing place. Crew feel accepted and understood. Wonderful staff. A true community. We love nonPareil!

C.E.

At normal schools, there’s usually a divide between what I need and what they are able to offer. It is not like that at nP Online, which so far I enjoy.

One of my favorite things about nP Online is talking to the people that are a part of the program.

We traveled from Florida to tour the school. My son and I loved the staff and some of the students we met and he tells everyone he is coming to school here and can’t wait until he graduates.

C.D.

nonPareil has been a very important part of my family and has a special place in my heart. The staff, faculty, executive management are absolutely amazing. The young adults they mentor, are even better. The work they do, is a mission of love, compassion, AND structured in as family type environment. I would recommend nonPareil to anyone, this is a very special community. Schedule a tour!

My daughter was the first student at nP Houston. She has a number of challenges, and her educational experiences during her short life have made her a challenge at times to work with as well. I am grateful every day for the opportunities to learn and grow in community provided to my daughter by nP Houston. I see maturation, increasing self-confidence, an effort made to developing relationships, and an increasing commitment to do the work. And she is happy!

Our son has been attending nonPareil Institute Orlando …. The goals and expectations set from day 1 have far exceeded our expectations. Our son has found his home away from home, his friends, a community and a purpose. Our family could not imagine our son without nonPareil. We are so grateful for the amazing staff, the CEO, and all the donors who came together to make sure nonPareil Orlando could open.

O.P.

As a former volunteer it was an amazing experience and environment! So happy for the opportunity to be a part of such a great team and see firsthand all the wonderful work that goes on there.

nP Online is improving communication skills for my son. They helped my son find the words to convey when he needs help. We are really pleased with the program and his progress.

I love that nonPareil provides a place for adults on the spectrum to feel important and serve their purpose! CEO, Gary Moore has a passion to build better futures for adults with autism! The staff of this organization have such big hearts and want to help adults with autism reach their full potential. With four locations in different cities throughout the US, nonPareil continues to grab the interest of people all over the world and as a supporter of this amazing organization – I can’t wait to witness how many more lives are changed as more locations open.

K.H.

For the first time in my daughter’s life, she has found a place where she’s not the exception. She has found a place to be herself and that has allowed her to grow in ways that I would not have thought possible. The CORE classes she attends provides her the opportunity to learn and safely practice the social skills she will need to succeed in the neurotypical world. nonPareil provides that safe place with a staff that understands her struggles.

J.A.

nonPareil is a Godsend to these young adults who get opportunities to learn and grow in such a supportive, caring environment. Thank you nonPareil and Oncor!

My adult son has Asperger’s Syndrome and enjoys working in an environment that is accepting and flexible to his needs. I have great gratitude for nPI.

W.

nonPareil has made him realize that he can make a positive difference in the world for other young adults on the spectrum. He has benefited from core classes and social networking opportunities he would not otherwise have had and is working hard in the hopes of one day being part of the faculty that teaches graphic design and social appropriate adult activities to others! It has been the defining education for [our son]! It is a place where he can be understood and build empathy and respect for those that may not otherwise speak out for Autism!

M.C.

Best place in the world, I have learned so many life skills and everyone is amazing, kind, respectful, and understanding. I love it!

A.B.

In that time his skills as a digital artist have increased significantly, but even more importantly, his soft-skills and ability to work with other Crew members, Staff members, and everyone that he comes in contact with has seen a dramatic and positive increase.
