Kicklighter Resource Center

My daughter has attended Kicklighter for only about 2 months, but I have only good things to say. It’s a shame that after «several years with no problem whatsoever,» the only other reviewer decided 1 star was an appropriate rating. I have not had the same length of experience, but certainly the warm, friendly staff that *all* greet my daughter and I, do not deserve such a poor review – particularly after a single problem, arguably not their fault, in several years.

My autistic son attended Kicklighter for several years with no problem whatsoever.
This year, I called in March to make arrangements for him to attend their summer camp program, which he attended last year. I was told that the program was not finalized yet, but they took my name and phone number and told me that they would call me as soon as they were accepting applications.
Flash forward a month and a half (two weeks before school lets out) and I still haven’t heard back from Kicklighter. So I call to ask about the status of the summer camp to find out that they are already full! Apparently they only accepted ten kids for the summer, including non-​autistic siblings. My son was left out in the cold without even the opportunity to apply for the camp because someone dropped the ball.
I spoke with two different people (including the «director») who said they would inquire about other summer opportunities for autistic children in Savannah but– surprise surprise– I have not heard back from either of these women.
I was a very loyal and supportive fan of Kicklighter until this experience. Obviously they are not the «resource» center they claim to be if they cannot provide adequate services for Savannah’s special needs population.
