Adaptive Edge Parent Testimonials:

Coach Brendan has been a part of our lives for the past three years. Before the adaptive edge program existed, Coach Brendan ensured that my 4 year old (now 7) could participate in ninja class, taking extra care to make sure that he stayed on task. Enrolling your child in activities is especially difficult when your child has a diagnosis that makes participation tricky. Coach Brendan has always gone above and beyond to ensure access and inclusion and has gone on to create an extraordinary program of adaptive classes. He is the real deal. He has seen our family through many chapters (and issues) and nothing phases him. My kids trust him, implicitly, and he has been able to instill in my son the gift of strength and confidence. Movement is so critical to neurodivergent kids and Coach Brendan understands the language of movement. It is the perfect place for my son to drop into his body to get the sensory regulation that he so desperately needs after a long day at school. Coach Brendan creates a positive and encouraging environment and I credit him with a lot of my son’s success in and out of the classroom. He is an amazing member of our team and we are grateful for his presence in our lives. He is the real deal.

Our daughter has thrived in the Adaptive Edge program. The teachers’ compassion, patience, and dedication have made a tremendous impact on her development. We’ve seen significant progress in her speech and social skills, as well as a growing sense of independence and confidence. We are so grateful for the positive influence this program has had on her life.

Sundays have become my child’s absolute favorite day of the week thanks to the Adaptive Edge! It’s such a joyful, welcoming space where the kids can swing, jump, run, or just explore freely — whatever makes them happiest that day. Coach Brendan is truly the heart of it all; he’s so kind, patient, and accommodating, giving each child his full attention and making them feel seen and supported. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and the kids feel that. For me, it’s also a wonderful time to connect with other parents who understand our journeys — we share stories, encouragement, and laughs. It’s more than a class; it’s a little community that fills our hearts every week.
