As others have said - pretty useless. Use the money elsewhere, such as talking courses to improve your child's SAT scores.

Very little help/advice/use for the money we paid. Nothing you can't google or talk to a high school counselor with for free.

Both my children went to this school for a year of preschool, even though the school considered…read morethem both to be neurotypical, after my older son got kicked out of his preschool for behavioral issues. I can't say enough good things about Williams. They have on-site behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Each classroom has a quiet sensory room attached for children who get over stimulated, and there's an indoor gross motor room that my son was able to able to utilize when he became too hyperactive. They have smaller class sizes, and were able to work with him one-on-one when he needed it. The teachers and other staff were all very competent and capable. We interviewed at several different schools, most of which had said that they would be willing to take him and might be able to meet his needs, but it gave me a great deal of Peace of mind KNOWING that this school would be able to with with him regardless of his behaviors. Both my children thrived at the school, where they were only surviving before. I also think it was a very valuable experience for both of them to be surrounded by this diverse population and the teacher was even able to challenge them both academically, even though they were only in preschool. They both loved going to school there, and they learned a lot! My older son was eventually diagnosed with ADHD, sensory integration disorder, and a tic disorder. He's now transitioned to public school. Well see how that goes. Williams set the bar really high.

Amazing school! I worked there for over 2 years and can honestly say I would send my own child with…read morespecial needs their in a heart beat! Please consider opening a south Austin location as well have numerous south Austin Autism families that would benefit!

I've had kids at every grade level at this school and each teacher has been wonderful and engaging. The director, Jan Glosser, is so welcoming, warm, kind and knows each family personally which makes you feel right at home. We love it!

Attending this wonderful school made transitioning to Kindergarten much easier! Now, my younger son is in his second year at CUMC and loves it so much. The teachers are all experienced and caring - the class sizes are small, giving each child the chance to grow and develop. Teachers send weekly emails to let parents know the weekly curriculum, there are after-school activities, and much more! Jan Glosser, the school's director is engaged in daily life at school and fosters a wonderful and caring community. I've met all of the staff and can personally attest to their care for the students.

I'm putting a one-star for numerous reasons. This might be the only review, but there might be…read moremore. I did enjoy the part about starting to live independently. However, CLE is a joke. They are trying to scam you into several thousand dollars to get all the independence you need, but keep reading. You will regret paying an outrageous amount of money. Don't stop reading this review because this will "rethink" your decision to apply to College Living Experience. Their staff is so disrespectful, dishonest, and rude. Like, I'm NOT kidding. They don't have the proper certification to take with individuals that have intellectual disabilities, and their budgeting class that Chris Sheppard is teaching is a joke. His LinkedIn specifies that he's not a major in budgeting, and his major is sociology. Look at the pictures. It says right on there that he's a sociology major. He should be a social coach, NOT budgeting. Chris was so mean and disrespectful when I had him for budgeting class. Every time I saw him, I wanted to run away from him. He said when I forgot my mask, I asked him, "should I wear a mask since I forgot?" He said, "I can't make you wear a mask like you are lying." Like, why would I lie about this?! Does he think I'm not adequately educated?! Also, Jennifer Golden is not a good social coach at all. I'm super disappointed that I didn't NOT get the help that I needed. She cursed at me when we had sessions together and felt very violated and disrespected. This is not how they should do business, which is NOT okay. In all honesty, go to Austin Community College and see Samantha Thomson, the Success Coach. She is way better than the people at CLE. They are honestly ripping you off. Samantha Thomson is a better success coach and is CERTIFIED with individuals with intellectual disabilities. She has a master which proves that she wants to work in the field. The company must be strict about getting certified to work since they are all intern practicum students. STAY AWAY FROM COLLEGE LIVING EXPERIENCE and find some resources at Austin Community College. They are a lot better and hands-on. DON'T SIGN UP at CLE; you will regret your decision.

Listen. I feel terrible for doing this. I've never left a bad review. But I feel like it needs to…read morebe said. Good concept. (Some) absolutely incompetent staff. The way I was treated here gave me emotional damage that took me upwards of a year to recover from. I really do believe in the good of human beings so I don't think it was done with ill intent but what poor handling. If you really want this experience for your kid, go to Denver or something. I'm sure it's better there.

She seemed to be looking at something online that was unrelated to the tutoring session. I ended the session early because it was unproductive. I do not trust this organization to hire tutors of quality after this experience. They refused to provide me with a refund, even though this experience was terrible.

I would give them zero stars, if possible…read more Great service in creating the account and putting my student in front of a tutor. The tutor turn out to be a retired Chemistry professor who spent 15 minutes complaining about the fact that VT assign to him too many students and he didn't have time to take care of anyone. We changed tutor. My student has a question, the same answer was given three times. Finally it came out that my student had not clearly understood what an isotope is. The tutor replied "you should know what an isotope is". We finally gave up and requested to cancel the subscription. They told me to consider it a done thing. One month later, mid-December, I was charged 324$ on the credit card. I called them to ask a refund and to finally cancel the subscription for good. The reply was that the contract does not allow for refunds, only for credit. When I promised to write this review, they told me "ok, we will put you in contact with the special requests team"... Our experience has been that of incompetent tutors and a scam-like approach to billing. At the time of writing I am not sure yet if they plan to bill me again in one month. Don't give your credit card number to this people.

They have done a great job of determining what skills he needed to work on in a way that matched his interests. My youngest is in the toddler program and her teachers have been phenomenal too! Ms. Mayada is like a second mother to my daughter with her loving hugs and warm personality. My youngest has gained so much independence with the Montessori teaching and I look forward to seeing how much more she will learn! Finally, the administration is exactly what I wanted. Always available to discuss my concerns and proactive to potential hurdles. They have been great at keeping me updated on the progress of the kiddos!

Is your four year old reading, writing, doing basic geometry, naming the continents and oceans, and counting in 3 different languages?

Each child is treated with one-on-one attention, by teachers who truly care. I gave them a wild toddler, they send me back a thoughtful, bright child. This is the best place to begin investing in my daughter's education. Highly recommended!
