“The knowledge of each employee of Reach, Inc., of each individual client is commendable. We have encountered nothing but consideration towards *** and us. We are surprised at how well *** is doing in this environment. He progresses from year to year it seems. He is more independent than we ever thought he would be. Continue to bolster salaries of your “in-the-trenches” employees so they will be able to stay with the job. It is hard on clients, it seems, to have people they have learned to respect and depend on leave.”

Margot Stevens, parent

“I feel Reach is doing a very good job to try to help *** become the best man he can be.”
