Over the 15 years we’ve been serving our students, we’ve seen WILDD students make incredible gains. To the right, you’ll find a cumulative report of our students’ progress over time. Of course, progress can’t always be measured with a number–if you want to hear directly from our students and families about their experiences with WILDD, check out our Testimonials.

Our clinical staff measure our students’ progress with the most recent edition of the Woodcock-Johnson Test of Achievement.
