Testimonial
Ben Martin
Since 2005 in the program
I have found that the staff and participants at Columbus are like a family helping each other to reach their full potential. Because Ben can’t speak, it was hard to let him go. I needed to feel a sense of trust with the people who were working with someone I love so much. In no time, I was at ease with the staff.
