The halls are set up so that multiple wheelchairs can move throughout the halls with ease. The kids range in age from 3-22 and they are some of the kindest humans you'll ever meet. The staff is amazing, they all care so much for the students and they would do anything to make their days at school worth it. The building is so bright and open, so much natural light you don't really need artificial lights in the halls. The health office looks like a mini ER with multiple full-time nurses who preform multiple procedures throughout the day. The front office staff is super friendly and kind, they love what they do. As you walk in the school they have a saying up on the wall and it says, "All Children Can Learn," and that is 1000% true. If I had a child who was medically fragile I'd want them to be here.

Recently, I received the unfortunate news about my child being on the Autism Spectrum Disorder. I…read morewas devastated, I was distraught, and I thought immediately about what my next steps would be. What was most important for me was to be pro-active immediately and to ensure that my child would have a chance. I soon looked up and found Nevada ABA Therapy and enrolled my child in the therapy sessions. I can truly say, wow, Mariam has been a total miracle! Her understanding, knowledge, and depth of ABA Therapy is unparalleled. My child, for the first time, is saying words and putting sentences together, as well as doing tasks I never thought he could do! It was at this moment I knew choosing Nevada ABA Therapy was the best choice and decision I would ever make for my son's future. Thank you Mariam, and thank you Nevada ABA Therapy!

So it's been a while since my initial review, and there have been changes many amazing, some…read moredisheartening . I now have children in the Elementary and one entering the High School. The Good Pinecrest still provides an exceptional academic program. I've had very open and transparent interaction with teachers and staff (family oriented). Looking at the schools data/ scores and the progress of my own children, I can attest to the success they have in providing an educational experience that can not be matched by the Public School System. It is rigorous and requires students do the work. Success at Pinecrest is dependent on what students and parents put in. Infinite Campus is updated and I appreciate being able to see what they are working on and when they will be assessed. It helps me keep track of my kids assignments and provide guidance as needed. If your student needs help,just ask. They have a system of support that is very student centered. The school is modern and progressive. They expose students to the technological advances needed to prepare them to be competitive as they enter college and workforce. Additionally they frequently have Guest Speakers, various Community Organizations, Events (very active PTA), Field Trips, all coveted opportunities that gives students exposure to every thing from Entrepreneurship, Career Exploration,The Arts, Community Building the list goes on. The programs for Middle School and extracurricular activities offered are top tier in my opinion. I am supper excited by the addition of the High School Career and College Tracks offered to the students. Pinecrest covering the majority of associated cost. Leaving High School with a Diploma, Certification or degree/ credits is a valuable opportunity. The Bad As Pinecrest has expanded there has been a very noticeable change in negative student behaviors. Bullying, Racism, and Mental Healthl issues have marred the appeal of the school. These issues in my experiences unfortunately have not been limited to students. However, when I've reached out I have almost immediately response and have recieved swift action. Once again, parental involvement is needed in addressing these issues and proactively seeking meaningful resolutions. I also feel Pinecrest needs to revamp how they set and enforce expectations when it comes to behavior. Most students there appreciate all that the achool offers. They come in ready to learn and engage in all the benefits the school provides. However, there are some that disrespect the learning environment continuously contributing little to the overall environment of the school. This is simply not acceptable. It does not go with the core values and goals of the school. More needs to be done to support the teachers in the classroom so that they can teach without distractions. Overall, our time at Pinecrest Cadence has been good. While like any other school there are issues, the overall value provided is still exceptional. I hope that as the school continues to grow they continue putting student success at the healm. Creating an environment where all students feel seen and valued.

I thought long and hard before writing this review, but something had to be said. My child and I…read morewere extremely happy when she got selected for a seat at this campus. I have known parents who have sent their kids here and have had a good experience (for the most part). We are into the second week of the new school year & I am already unenrolling my child because we found a new school that was a better fit socially and academically. Please do not send your child here if they require any kind of assistance. To start the IEP teacher reached out to me before the school year to set up a meeting with is standard and missed both of our meetings, didn't return my emails for weeks. The school did not provide my child the accommodations as outlined in their IEP, which is against the law. Moving forward, they refused to provide an elective aside from study hall because they claimed they were at capacity with every other elective. My child got dress coded twice in the first week. Once for a skirt that was in their section at the uniform store 2nd because her skirt had buttons on it and it wasn't a plain khaki skirt in their words. Upon arriving to the open house and explaining to the teacher the accommodations outlined in the IEP the teacher stated that she wasn't allowed to use her accommodations in her room because she shouldn't have to explain to the other kids why my child was so special. The school had a food truck outside during their lunch break and refused to provide my child and my child's friend anything because they said and I quote "they didn't look underprivileged" what does under privileged look like? The best way I can describe this school is like a military school, which is extremely disheartening because we were excited about becoming a part of the Pinecrest family. If your child has an IEP or requires learning environment that fosters their needs, DO NOT send your child here! The only reason I gave them a one star is because I couldn't give them a zero and make this review. It is our job's as parents to fight for our children's education to ensure that they are being met with all of the tools that they need to be successful. This school discriminate against anybody who is different. Please read all of the reviews before making your decision. Start with the one stars and work your way up if all of them have the same common theme it's safe to say they're the problem!

Jon Paul Suanders response was to ask me into his office "to teach me a lesson" which included: - the techniques I witnessed are the only way he knows ABA therapy to work. - I can expect this treatment toward my toddler to continue. - He stands firmly behind his RBT's Kudos for JP's blind loyalty to the RBT's, but the 2-week fresh RBT was the least of my concerns. - The supervisor *ESCALATING* the abusive tactics was my #1 concern. - Janelle *BLINDLY* yelling at my son to comply with ANY treatment being dished out was my #2 concern. - One week prior, my mostly non-verbal son *REFUSED* to get in the car torturously crying "I WANT PAPA! I WANT PAPA! I WANT PAPA! (x20)" If this is the treatment they were showing to us parents in person, we were afraid of what they did or were planning to do when we weren't there. From what I recall, Jon Paul insisted that "He doesn't know every Autistic person perfectly, but he is the master at ABA and these techniques were necessary". These are the techniques I witnessed: When the RBT raced my sons hands to the iPad - I heard a CRACKING SOUND, my son JUMPED and SCREECHED, and then I watched my 3yr old toddler rubbing his hands from the sting of being slapped. I consider that a "slapping-technique". Both hands on both shoulders, forcibly pushing him in the chair, I call it the "shoving technique". When my son wouldn't look at the RBT using the "slapping and shoving techniques", she grabbed under his chin and forced him to look at her, I call the "face yanking" technique. It is worth noting that my son had done this particular exercise hundreds of times prior - the only thing new they were showing me were the abusive techniques. I am no ABA expert myself - but as an autistic parent who comes from an abusive household, I know first hand the self-doubting, suicidal, high anxiety behaviors that result from slapping an autistic child as he is desperately trying to follow confusing instructions. There is also a TON of modern science that shows a clear correlation between these traumatizing events and PTSD, depression, and anxiety later in life. The financial fallout from ACW's RBT hitting my child is severe. It's a 3 month wait to the pediatrician, and THEN 3 month wait to another therapists, at best. So now it's private tutors, private pre-school, and no insurance help what-so-ever. Lawyers have made it clear: no bruising, no blood, no interest. And that is why I think it's important to leave this review - the only thing protecting you child from being abused up to the point of bruising is TRUST from their care providers. When I pointed out that their staff was hitting my child, their only response was to try and distract and discredit me. As an example, I wanted to discuss the fact their staff slapped my child in front of me and his mother and what corrective action would be taken, however, Jon Paul Saunders #1 concern was that 6 MONTHS PRIOR I had let my child jump on the bed for 5 minutes after 7 hours of therapy and 30 minutes of crying. This was considered "stepping on the RBT's toes". It became increasingly clear to me that the RBT's feelings were more important than my child's physical safety and mental integrity. Perhaps I do owe an apology to the RBT though - I had accused them of *accidentally* slapping my child, but considering the both of the Saunders, as well as the Supervisor applauded these techniques applied to my toddler I can only assume this is an intentional part of their programming. In all honesty, in the 18 months at ACW I never ONCE saw a child that was 5 years old and ready for kindergarten. I genuinely think the Saunders lack the technical capabilities to educate a child that far and it has been both costly and distressing to find out in this manner. I did NOT find the Saunders willing, wanting, or capable of enforcing the "neutral and positive touches" policy Autism Care West had advertised to me and my wife when we joined. I kindly ask the owners of Autism Care West to review their programming, policies, and procedures to ensure they comply with the "neutral and positive touch" policy they advertise.
