" My son started SDEPS at the beginning of year 4. SDEPS created an individual learning program suited to my son’s needs. His confidence, self esteem and academic ability has improved dramatically. All the teachers are amazing, very approachable, efficient and supportive to my son and myself (the supervisor). SDEPS has been incredible for our son and his education.
