“Because of xMinds I was able to get an educational grant to attend the Unstuck and On Target training as well as the Conversation Club training. I was able to learn and work with other staff members on ways to help children get unstuck when they come across problems.”

“I took the Self Advocacy Workshop [from] xMinds, and it helped me when I needed to advocate [for myself during] a test. It would have been really hard for me to take the test in the setting that I was originally in."
