We moved from Louisiana only a few weeks before the summer session had started. In the months leading up to our move, I had been researching structured programs for my daughter to attend. I was so impressed with Learning Lane, I wanted Alexa to attend sight unseen.
Jennifer has been so helpful during this stressful transition, the staff is amazing, and the entire program is well organized.
Alexa has learned great skills to take with her to school in the fall.
Thank you~

"Our family is absolutely thrilled with the progress our daughter has made since beginning at The Learning Lane in Nov 2008 (at the age of 34 months). She was diagnosed with Autism in July 2008. When she started at TLL, she was virtually non-verbal and had many sensory issues. We saw our first burst of speech by March 2009. Eighteen months later, she is now fully communicative on every level. She is able to appropriately and succinctly share her needs, thoughts, observations and feelings. She loves to sing songs and play imaginatively all the time. She turned 4 a few months ago and she already has a strong academic foundation. She is able to read a variety of books (long Dr. Seuss books...with great inflection in her voice), add and subtract, and write sentences. Her current level of compassion, affection, imagination, humor, and communication is one that would have been hard to imagine when she was first diagnosed. One of our most special milestones was when she recently let us paint her toenails! For years, we have had an impossible time clipping her nails & whenever we mentioned polish, she'd run away screaming! Now -- she loves it!"
Since beginning at The Learning Lane, she has bloomed so beautifully in a loving, enriching and caring environment; one that she looks forward to going to everyday! She loves her teachers and her friends. Her incredible progress through The Learning Lane has essentially changed the course of her life. We will forever be grateful to Jennifer and the staff at The Learning Lane.

"My husband and I are very pleased with the progress that our daughter has made since enrolling at The Learning Lane a few months ago. The staff at the school provides a caring and nurturing educational environment that has worked out great for our daughter. She's becoming more expressive, affectionate, and interactive every day. Many thanks to Jennifer and her team."

"I thought from a speaker's point of view, this was the most organized and well managed event that I have ever participated in. The setting, hotel staff, AV, the room, the handouts, the prizes, snacks, and your personal touch were all excellent."

"The Learning Lane is truly a God-send for parents of children with Autism. I felt completely lost when my son was diagnosed. After meeting Jennifer and touring the facility, I felt that there was a place where my son was understood and belonged. My son has only been going to the Learning Lane for a short while, but I know that because of the wonderful staff he is going to be able to learn to his full potential."

"I've known Jennifer for a number of years now, since we started the Autism/Asperger/PDD Parent & Professional Networking Group in Tomball... She is a remarkable person, who is as knowledgeable as anyone in her profession. With that, she is at the same time one of the most down-to-earth and approachable people I have ever known. Jennifer has a keen instinct on how to help families with their unique situation in working with their child with a disability. You won't meet anyone kinder, more giving, or who works harder."

"The Learning Lane and Jennifer Crawford have had a wonderful collaborative relationship with my school district, which has made for a successful transition."

"I wish it were the case that all ABA programs were equal in quality and scope; however, they range from simply "open for business", to truly committed to achieving a successful outcome for all involved. The difference in the quality of the many available programs starts at the top; and at the top of my list, when making a referral to my clients, is Jennifer Crawford and The Learning Lane. If ABA is in your future then she should be your first call. "

"I thank God for Jennifer Crawford and The Learning Lane staff. They believed in my son’s abilities when others doubted him. We are so proud of the social and academic progress he has made during his time at The Learning Lane. Early intervention is crucial and his future is bright and hopeful thanks to the wonderful foundation and support we’ve received at The Learning Lane."

"Although I’ve never had the privilege of utilizing the services of the Learning Lane, I have gotten to know Jennifer Crawford through committee work and conferences. She is a collaborative, hard working person who truly cares about our children and that I am proud to have on “our side”! This is evident through her continuing to attend conferences to enhance her already vast store of knowledge and volunteering to serve on state-level committees."

"We were so blessed to find The Learning Lane for our son, Brandon. Actually....the funny thing is that Jennifer, with the big heart and passion for helping families that she has, actually e-mailed me from an e-mail I wrote on the Texas Autism Advocacy yahoo group. She was truely sent by God and I believe that now more than ever! In the 3 years we have been working with Jennifer we have seen nothing less than 110% from her and her staff. They truely have the heart for what they do each day and we feel so blessed to have them as a part of Brandon's therapy and our extended family! Jennifer shows a great desire to help and advocate for families as well as the passion parents have for their children when needed during meeting with school districts. We will always have a special place in our hearts for Jennifer and her staff! Brandon wouldn't be where he is today without them!"

"The Learning Lane has been the guiding light of hope and possibilities for our son. Jennifer's "family" approach and individualized attention to each child is what makes this school stand out among all the others."
