Careers at Journey School

Bryson R

Bryson and I became a family in December 2017. I pursued Bryson's adoption because China believed he was Deaf, and I am a Deaf Education teacher. I totally can parent a deaf child! I've got this! (both things I said.) Upon our return to the United States, it was determined that Bryson was not deaf at all! He was diagnosed with Autism. When I found out about Journey School I knew Bryson needed to be a student there. As I am a single Mom on a teacher's salary, I cannot afford tuition. August came around and Melodie let me know that Bryson was accepted on a scholarship. This was the BEST thing I heard since bringing Bryson home. He will finally receive the education
he deserves!

Bryson has been at Journey School for three school years. I THANK GOD for Journey School.

Journey School sees Bryson as a whole child ensuring that he is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. Most importantly, the entire staff understands Bryson’s unique needs beyond academics and life skills; sensory, culture, adoption, institutionalism and learning English as a Second Language. Instead of extinguishing behaviors, they have taken the time to find the “why” and help him meet his needs and progress through developmental milestones he missed in the first six years of his life. Journey School is not merely a school ... but our family!
