Importance of in-person work
Before Zach finally reunited in-person with his Oak Hill friends in the fall, staff from the nonprofit Edinburg Center started coming to his home in August to help him develop social skills and learn strategies for becoming more independent.\
“So much is needing to physically be there,” said Sarah Faulkner about the importance of face-to-face communication.
