Our daughter Beth has had the opportunity to participate in a number of special needs workshops. Without question, she has enjoyed her experiences at Watauga Opportunities more than any other. While most of us do not look forward to returning to work on Monday mornings, she can't wait! Her enthusiasm is due entirely to the encouraging, supportive environment that is demonstrated by each staff member.

I continue to see wonderful relationships evolve and students receive guided attention toward their next steps in life. I firmly believe this program (Pre-ETS) is life changing in many aspects.
