My son is borderline autistic. He is high functioning, kind and intelligent. However, the anxiety in a regular school environment started to be too much around 7-8th grade. We have tried private school (regular type), public school with special accommodations in the following years...It was always a juggle between academics and social activities. He tried very hard and became tense and stressful. It was in the middle of 10th grade when his grades completely tanked when we decided to give Fusion Academy a try. It beat our expectation. My son was invited as an equal part to the conversations regarding his study plan instead of feeling being overpowered by authority. He starts to genuinely and actively participate in school activities without appearing overwhelmed, and his grades have largely improved and consistently reached A-level for two semesters so far. We look forward to the next academic year and graduate high school at Fusion. For families that you know your kids have potential but somehow struggling, have a conversation with Fusion. Tiffany at Fusion long island is very easy to work with and she quickly gets to the point.
