"We've been part of the IDDI/Crystal Springs community since August 2005 and all of us were very concerned about being separated from daily contact with Torrie, about trusting others to care for her. But it wasn't long before Torrie—who neither speaks nor hears—made it clear that she was quite happy with the school and her new living arrangements. She's always delighted to see her family, eager to clamber into our car for a trip to her other granny in Fall River, or a drive back to Sandwich for the weekend, and she's just as eager to rejoin her friends at Willow House when she returns there. Torrie knows what she wants and when confronted with the sign for "No" or "Not now, later" she can be exasperating, but the staff has been dealing with her displays of "attitude" in creative and effective ways, guided by a behavioral plan crafted by the Psychology department."

"We want to thank everyone at IDDI for doing such a great job with Ally. It's wonderful to see Ally smiling again."

"Our son, Scott, who is fortunate to be under the guidance, love and compassion of the staff (whom I refer to as my "angels") at formerly Crystal Springs School—now IDDI. Scott is one of the senior citizens now and has spent 34 years of what I feel have been more than rewarding for him. I have a favorite saying for folks and friends who ask about Scott and his well-being and, that is, "He's as safe as if he were in God's pocket." What more could anyone ask for their child.

"IDDI has been home to our son, Stephen, for 33 years. IDDI is our extended family. We have visited Stephen announced and unannounced. Stephen is always well cared for and all his needs are always met. We think about Stephen because he is our son and we love him. We also know how much tender, love and care Stephen receives at IDDI."
