All it takes is one small idea and a whole lot of passion to achieve something great. When it comes to parents and their children, this passion knows no bounds. The Bergen County community experienced this first-hand back in 2003, when a small group of parents came together to create opportunities for their children, all of whom were recently diagnosed with autism. In response to the lack of appropriate educational facilities available, they created a small private school for autistic kids known as REED Academy.
