“The “virtual visits” that [the assistant Principal] has provided for [my son] to speak with me via Zoom are wonderful! I was able to talk with [him] on Prom night. Thanks to Meghan, I saw [him] wearing his tuxedo…The Latham School and the residential program are doing an outstanding job to provide learning and after school activities. Thank you and all Latham staff for what you do, especially now.” – Latham Parent

The Zoom time with the school house kids and staff today at 1:30 pm was literally [his] dream come true!! We appreciate your flexibility, responsiveness, and overall positive and enthusiastic attitudes!…Just those few minutes seeing his peers and staff made him so happy.

“Times of stress tend to reveal the true nature of people, groups, and teams. It is incredible to observe how quickly and completely the friends and families of individuals in the Adult Services Program have pulled together. There has been such patience and generosity at every turn. Donations of activities have helped the individuals to stay engaged during the stay-at-home advisory. Expressions of gratitude and support have comforted all of us. The Latham Team has worked constantly with parents, community members, and other providers to make sure that the individuals are well cared for. There has been a constant stream of communication, all geared toward the well-being of the individuals and the staff who care for them. I’m so proud to be part of this team and this community.” – Latham staff member
